CRITICAL ACCLAIM

"Impressive, showing a lush lyric soprano that especially shone during her solo 'Saria possible.'" – OperaWire

Giannetta in L’Elisir d’Amore – "In the role of Giannetta, Brittany Renee was impressive, showing a lush lyric soprano that especially shone during her solo 'Saria possible.' She sang this passage with staccato phrases, a quiet piano sound, and gorgeous legato phrases. Her comic timing was sensational as she interacted with the women’s chorus...in the ensembles, her voice also shone, especially in 'Io già m’immagino che cosa brami' where her patter work resonated through all the voices. Her interactions with Schultz were also crucial in helping audiences understand who this character was and why she was always around.”

"a formidable artist" – Voce di Meche

MET Summerstage – “This was the first time we heard Soprano Brittany Renee and found her to be a formidable artist [...] She rose to the challenge of Violetta's Act I aria from Verdi's La Traviata negotiating the two opposing sides of Violetta's character. In the cabaletta ‘Sempre libera’ we heard some impressive fireworks--just right for a party girl in denial. We don't claim to know anything about jazz but Duke Ellington' "In a Sentimental Mood" sounded just fine to us and illustrated her versatility.”

"...sang in luminous tones about her own gorgeousness." – South Florida Classical Review

La boheme – “As the beautiful Musetta, Brittany Renee Robinson gave an assured performance that communicated desirability and jealousy without the stock, over-the-top diva gestures that so often accompany this role.

__________

"Renee...displays the requisite range of confident liveliness and flamboyance with a touch of naughtiness" – PoplifeSTL

La boheme – “Brittany Renee achieves another bit of opera theater magic in the final act. In the first three, Renee delivers a Musetta who displays the requisite range of confident liveliness and flamboyance with a touch of naughtiness (Café Momus, anybody?). But it’s her act of kindness toward Mimi in the fourth act that most humanizes the character. Renee’s compassion adds genuine depth to the role."
