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." "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."
"...among them, Jami Rogers dazzled as the Queen of the Night." 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." As Servillia in La Clemenza di Tito: "Jami Rogers... a remarkably sweet voice, which she used to considerable
effect in her one aria." "Jami Rogers brought personal charm to the role of Servillia." 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." PAGE 2 As Aspasia in Mitridate, Re di Ponto: "Jami Rogers spun out a flawless coloratura line as Aspasia, her
voice belending beautifully... in the opera's only duet." "Soprano Jami Rogers was a stunning Aspasia, nimbly handling a coloratura
laden role." "The ease and grace of Jami Rogers in impossible coloratura passages...
contributed greatly to the production." 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." "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." "...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."
"Soprano Jami Rogers sings with elegance and polish that points
to a major career." |
