“sung with bright intensity by Chrystal E. Williams”
Knoxville News Sentinel
“young Hansel, strongly sung by Chrystal E. Williams…mastered the movements and stride of a boy, not once giving herself away.”
South Florida Classical Review
“Chrystal E. Williams made a most impressive Sarasota debut as Rosina. The young mezzo-soprano possesses a creamy instrument with fine flexibility, throwing off a confident ‘Una voce poco fa.’ She also handled the comedy with flair and sailed through the coloratura flights with style and assurance.” —South Florida Classical Review
Your Observer
“superb cast… Rosina, played by Chrystal E. Williams, was so strong and so assured—vocally and dramatically—she pretty much stole the show. Williams…is a mezzo soprano who seems destined for great things…the timbre of her voice has an energy and brightness that carried her easily through the coloratura fanfare of ‘Una voce poco fa,’ and everything else Rossini tossed in her path. That made her a spitfire Rosina with a twinkle in her eyes and the kind of sparkle her suitor…would pursue to the ends of Andalusia.” —Your Observer
