ANGELIKI THEOHARIS

Critics have proclaimed:

“But none can match the sheer vocal prowess of Theoharis, whose voice can only be compared to a racing waterfall: at once stunning and incredibly, frighteningly powerful. And yet, her magnetic presence leant itself to many laughs, as well. From the moment her bright-clad form came onstage, all eyes were glued and lips helplessly caught in ongoing laughter”. Olga Privman, The Review Fix (NYC)

“Mezzo Angeliki Theoharis boasts distinctive timbre, steadiness of tone, and considerable power”. Richard Dyer, The Boston Globe

“As Azucena, the gifted mezzo, Angeliki Theoharis, ground out her hair-raising chest notes and nailed her top ones with courage and thrilling beauty”. Susan Larson, The Boston Globe

“As Santuzza, the heroine of Cavalleria, Theoharis displayed a voice like a canon, capable of launching one big, solid note after another, and created a largely sympathetic character”. T.J. Medreck, The Boston Herald
