SELECTED REVIEWS


As Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflote:

"The Queen of the Night - Jami Rogers brought the house down with her spectacular arias."
Peter G. Davis
    New York Magazine

"Jami Rogers presents a diminutive but powerful Queen of the Night, and makes the opera's well-known coloratura "Revenge Aria" a certifiable show-stopper."
Rick Mulrooney
    The News Journal

"...among them, Jami Rogers dazzled as the Queen of the Night."
    The Village Voice

As Juliette in Romeo et Juliette:

"Rogers' coloratura soprano reached ever higher levels of glory as the evening progressed, culminating in her penultimate scene, where Juliette contemplates a life without Romeo. Vocally it was the high point of the opera, and the audience let her know it. Dramatically, it had an abandon that was missing from other individual performances."
    Gregory Shepherd
    The Honolulu Advertiser

As Servillia in La Clemenza di Tito:

"Jami Rogers... a remarkably sweet voice, which she used to considerable effect in her one aria."
    Harry Weber
    The Riverfront Times

"Jami Rogers brought personal charm to the role of Servillia."
    William Mootz
    The Courier-Journal

As Musetta in La Boheme:

"Jami Rogers was the quintessential tart with a heart, Musetta, matching him note for note while enthralling the audience with charm and verve."

In concert:

"Jami Rogers, winner of a bouquet of big competitions, has everything a soprano needs for success; a sweet chime of a voice, lots of attitude and a divine dress."
    Susan Larson
    The Boston Globe

"The operatic feast continued... a stunning performance of Zerbinetta's aria, ‘Grossmachtige Prinzessin' from R. Strauss' Ariadne auf Naxos. She faced this torturously supreme test of coloratura technique with heroism and amazing success."
    Sterling Adams
    Savannah News-Press

"...and Rogers both demonstrated fine control and range, but it was home-town-girl-come-home Rogers who appeared to have the best tone quality."
    Bob Barrett
    Knoxville News-Sentinel

"Soprano Jami Rogers sings with elegance and polish that points to a major career."
    Joseph McLellan
