CRITICAL ACCLAIM
“... gorgeous contribution…” – Datebook
Cavalleria rusticana– ““Cavalleria” also featured a gorgeous contribution by mezzo-soprano Laura Krumm as Lola, the focus of all the men’s desires. Krumm has been a strong, reliable presence on local opera stages since her time as an Adler Fellow several years ago, but I’ve never before heard her sing with such a combination of force, rich vocal color and sheer self-assurance. This performance – brief but entrancing – felt like a major step forward.”

"... exquisitely sung…” – Encore Michigan
Little Women – “In “Things Change, Jo,” Meg explains what it’s like to be in love. This aria was exquisitely sung by mezzo-soprano, Laura Krumm, and was a highlight of the evening.”

"... technically solid, beautiful sound..." – Schmopera
Don Giovanni– “Laura Krumm as Zerlina was perhaps my favorite, with her technically solid, beautiful sound and excellent acting skills giving Zerlina the most human, natural arc of the night."
