| Emily Magee's voice soared over the orchestra, she gave a vocally exquisite performance as Marie/Marietta. For the most part her acting was persuasive, though she does not quite have a dancer's self-possession as far as movement is concerned. However, overall the music was gorgeous and everything seemed to come together beautifully./ Tattler |
| Later, however, his heldentenor broadened and melded beautifully with the soaring, Isolde-like soprano of Emily Magee in the dual role of Marie/Marietta./ Insidebay
Soprano Emily Magee, in a powerful company debut, made the best of a difficult situation, singing Marie and Marietta with a bright, muscular tone that gave Korngold's melodies both heft and glamour. Her delivery of "Marietta's Song" in Act 1 - one of the opera's two excerptible hits - was wonderfully rueful and strong, and she brought an apt air of fervency to the director's twitchy, voracious view of Marietta's character. Also, on opening night, Magee reacted with wonderfully professional sangfroid to not one but two wig mishaps./ SFGate |
| American soprano Emily Magee (Marietta/Marie), whose list of roles also includes much Wagner and Strauss, seems incarnated to sing/play Marietta. The body is flexible, with feet capable of a dancer�s pointe; the face and figure are lovely; and the voice is extremely generous. Although she may lack (at least on Tuesday�s opening night) the melting sweetness and heart-tugging sentiment that make the 1924 recording of �Gluck, das mir verblieb� by Lotte Lehmann and Richard Tauber (as well as the more recent, extremely slow solo rendition by Beverly Sills) a standard-bearer, her ability to swell on high in passage after passage inspires awe. / SFCV |
