FULL REVIEW

 

"Skull plays the diva opera star in the prologue and the forlorn Ariadne equally well, and brings whispers of her prima donna character into her performance in the opera within the opera. Overwhelming rich, her singing is very evocative and captures the pain of her abandoned heroine."

Erin Anderson, CVV Magazine | Feb 18, 2014

"Colleen Skull has the plush, robust tone and commanding presence befitting both incarnations of her character — 'Primadonna' (as Strauss calls her) in the Prologue, Ariadne in the Opera."
