Reviews
"Every single role is handled with great musicality, fine acting and stunning voice...Kudos to...the comic pair of servants, Berta and Ambrogio, as sung by Mary Catherine Moroney and Matthew Alan Troillett. Briggle gave them special ploys - Berta sneezed fortissimo at regular intervals while Ambrogio yawned. They never descended into the customary slapstick but moved through the action with sparkling humor. "

"...[Natalie Conte's] 'barcarole' duet with mezzo Mary Catherine Moroney was a gift they both sang to the musical gods...a tremedous combination of sounds. Ms. Moroney had a wonderful smoky mezzo quality..." (Review of Opera Camerata's "An Evening of French Grand Opera," by Bob Anthony)
