Marlis Petersen is “a sterling soprano … cool, smart, centered, captivating” (Los Angeles Times). She’s triumphed in Berg’s Lulu at the Met, and in her New York recital debut—which features songs by Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, and more—she demonstrates the enduring power that Goethe’s Romantic concept of the eternal feminine has held over composers for more than two centuries.

You never forget a singer like Susanna Phillips. It seems that wherever she sings, critics follow with reviews that praise her “attractive, splendidly musical” performances (Chicago Tribune) and “gleaming” soprano voice (The Boston Globe). Last season, she triumphed in Lucia di Lammermoor in Chicago. As Martin Bernheimer exhorted his readers in the Financial Times: “Susanna Phillips. Remember the name.”
