Critical Acclaim

Dallas Opera – Romeo et Juliette

Jane Bunnell as the nurse Gertrude had moments that nearly stole the show. Between her delicious voice and nuanced acting, I’d love to see her in a lead role.

The Metropolitan Opera – La Sonnambula

The Metropolitan Opera – Faust

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

Central City Opera – Les Contes d’Hoffmann

Rich-voiced Jane Bunnell was luxury casting for Antonia’s mother.  Clearly relishing playing a bad girl for once, she doubled as a feather-covered, truly corrupt Giulietta.

The Metropolitan Opera – Sly

Jane Bunnell as the tavern hostess and John Fanning as the actor John Plake, are very strong.

Berkshire Choral Festival – Verdi Requiem

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.

Springfield Journal, August 2001

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