South Florida Classical Review

“Benjamin Elliott’s vibrant baritone made Duke Theseus’ every utterance count and Adja Thomas looked every inch the Queen of the Amazons as Hippolyta. One would like to hear more of her sizable, voluminous soprano in a more prominent role.”

Aspen Times

“The women’s trio of soprano Kresley Figueroa and mezzos Adja Thomas and Hannah Shea created a moment of lyrical bliss in the penultimate aria.”
