  • "Mary Elizabeth Williams is quite simply phenomenal in the title role. She gives opera's grandest diva a regal bearing that remains subtle and mysterious. Her voice is exquisitely beautiful, with a warmly voluptuous tone that also has the ringing strength to reach to the stars...Her "Vissi d'arte" was particularly sublime, filled with genuine emotion." ~ New Orleans Times Picayune
