Critical Acclaim

    Mezzo-soprano Jane Bunnell, in the brief role of old lady Marthe, is a jewel.

    Martin Bernheimer, The Financial Times, April 27, 2005
  • Boston Symphony – Der Fliegender Holländer

  • Central City Opera – Les Contes D’hoffmann

    Mezzo-soprano Jane Bunnell was superb, especially her Recordare duet with soprano Alexandra Deshorties, oearly on  and her performance of Lux aeterna with tenor Jonathan Welcch and bass-baritone Dean Peterson.

  • Perfectly balancing the soprano with warmth and mellow sounds, mezzo-soprano Jane Bunnell exuded dulcet lines and sweeping upsurges with ‘Liber scriptus’
