"Perfect Jewel Aria

First off: The most perfect performance was achieved by US soprano Tara Wheeker with the Jewel Aria from Gounod's "Faust". To a balanced and secure voice in all situations, sophisticated gestures and facial expressions continued until aftermath. A girl who discovers her vanity in front of the mirror - that's how Wheeker can inspire at every opera house in the world. "

“Perfekte Juwelenarie

Vorweg: Die perfekteste Leistung gelang US-Sopranistin Tara Wheeker mit der Juwelenarie aus Gounods “Faust”. Zu einer in allen Lagen ausgeglichenen und sicheren Stimme gesellten sich bis ins Nachspiel ausgefeilte Gestik und Mimik. Ein Mädchen, das vor dem Spiegel seine Eitelkeit entdeckt - damit kann Wheeker an jedem Opernhaus der Welt begeistern.”

“These two characters, performed by Tara Morrow (formerly known as) and Thomas Capobianco respectively, were some of the best on stage. The lovers prompted full laughter from the audience, chasing each other around the stage, hiding from the Baron, finding hidden moments to profess their love to each other as a beautiful duet.”
