Reviews are in! Very grateful for the chance to play this sweet character, and to help bring to life a lesser-known piece by Mozart. For those coming through Frankfurt this holiday season, there are 5 more chances to catch @nina_brazier’s stunning production of Ascanio in Alba @oper_frankfurt, led by the fantastic @aldenpiano (and #lukasrommelspacher on 28 and 30 Dec).

The last time I saw Marlena in person, she and I both cringed when Sam pulled out his phone to take a picture of us. How I wish he’d insisted! Instead, we have this sweet picture of Roby playing in Marlena’s sons’ old toy car - she raced to dig it out of a closet when we arrived. She was delighted to meet him, as he was her. She was always in Sam’s and my corner, and she was a huge force in my journey into this career. I can’t imagine being where I am now without the years I spent as her student. My heart is hurting today, but I know she will live on in the hearts of her students, and their students, for a good long while. Thank you, Marlena, for teaching me so much and for reminding me, over and over and over again, to trust myself. I often imagine your smile while I sing. Eternally grateful. Rest in peace.

What a wonderful ride. Thank you @bostonlyricopera for entrusting me with this beautiful role. I loved being Angelina, especially with this wonderful group of people! Grateful 🥰

And thanks @operawire for this wonderful review!
“It is hard not to be enchanted by Cecelia Hall’s Angelina. Possessing a beautiful lyrical instrument, Hall’s voice has a quality that makes Cenerentola a well-grounded figure; beyond thrilling trills, her Angelina makes us believe that she is the most normal person on the stage — the only one that we can relate to. Her coloratura, therefore, instead of sounding like instrumentalisations of herself, is adjacent to her well-commanded lyrical lines. The challenging psychological problem within “Cenerentola”— why is she seeking the recognition of those who despised and mistreated her — seems to be peripheral to the making of the character. Angelina’s main feature seems to be her niceness and deep-rooted morality. Her voice serves as a moralizing force within the opera. Her “Non più mesta” was an invitation to goodness instead of a showcase of virtue. And her goodness, as opposed to her stepfamily’s wickedness, needs no explanation: it is all present in the voice.”
