| "Beth Clayton's operatic mezzo is ripe and full" |
| Praised for her �robust, luminous and penetrating� mezzo (Opera Now) and her �noble, attractive presence� (Opera News) for her recent Dallas Opera performances as Andromaca in Rossini�s Ermione, American mezzo soprano Beth Clayton has been recognized for her commanding vocalism, compelling stage presence and superb musicality in both opera and concert. |

| Beth Clayton cuts a stunning figure as a dominatrix Flosshilde; her impassive yet impassioned Erda (dressed as an "invisible" domestic, she cleaned the apartment throughout) furnished the arresting vocal highlight of the evening: a striking personal timbre, finely channeled. (Review-Rhinegold) |
| Among the standouts were mezzo-soprano Stephanie Novacek as Anthony's Alice B. Toklas-like companion Anne, the magnificently full-voiced mezzo Jill Grove as Jenny Reefer and soprano Wendy Hill as Constance Fletcher. Soprano Beth Clayton and tenor Jeffrey Lentz sang superbly as Indian Elliot and Jo the Loiterer, poster children for the tradition of semi-dysfunctional marriage (Review-The Mother of Us All.) |

| Brandon Jovanovich was a wonderfully menacing Bocannion and he acted not only with his body but with his virile sounding voice as well. His fellow conspirator, Rosalind, was convincingly played by smoky voiced mezzo-soprano, Beth Clayton, who floated ethereal pianissimi./ Review Right: The Mines of Sulphur: Beth Clayton as Rosalind and Brandon Jovanovich as Bonconnion Photo: George Mott |
