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."
