Reviews
of Laura Mann, Soprano
Cathedral Scene, Act II - Tchaikovsky's "The Maid of Orleans" -- Laura Mann (center) as Agnes Sorel
- Marriage of Figaro:
"Profiled and backed by Walther Jahreiss' sets, the
American singer Laura Mann wins first place as the
Countess Almaviva, with her cultured and beautifully expressive
voice." NORDSCHLESWIGER, Germany
- Recital: "Ms.
Mann is a thoroughly musical singer whose lovely sound quality
and assured technique are complimented by a sophisticated approach
to problems of phrasing and enunciation. In her most effective performance
of the evening Ms. Mann got inside the troubled disillusionment
of the post-World War I poetry in a most convincing way. Ms. Mann
is an artist who deserves an audience." BALTIMORE SUN, Baltimore,
MD
- Carmen: "A
winning figure was Laura Mann, whose duet dominated the first
act, and whose aria in the third became a true operatic highpoint."
MORGENBLATT, Ludwigshafen, Germany
- Oratorio: "Haydn's
florid writing was delivered with great eclat and
ease by Laura Mann. Her silvery soprano gained in brilliance
and
power as she rose into her upper range." ASHEVILLE CITIZEN
TIMES, Asheville, NC
- Oratorio: "Laura
Mann has a warm, supple lyric soprano voice, and a technique
which could handle everything from a good dramatic high B-flat to
a tender, lyrical Benedictus, one of the highpoints of the
performance. She is most impressive." CORPUS CHRISTI CALLER
TIMES, Corpus Christi, TX
- The Magic Flute:
"Laura Mann is a Pamina with musical and vocal
security, and loving expression..." INTERLAKEN ORGENPOST,
Interlaken, Switzerland
- The Land of Smiles:
"Laura Mann as Lisa understood how to portray
a woman in love with all its facets, even disillusionment and despair.
In her aria "I Want To See My Home Again," she
had ample opportunity to show her outstanding vocal gifts."
WORMSER ZEITUNG, Worms, Germany
- Recital: "Here
is artistry displayed. Laura Mann's...experience and
training were consistently evident, showing conservative elegance
as
she shaped the long and sometimes taxing phrases. Intimate, personal,
and beautiful." THE DAILY OKLAHOMAN, Oklahoma City,
OK
- Turandot: "Laura
Mann was a dream as Liu, with a fascinatingly
beautiful soprano voice, and intimate, fervent acting." ORPHEUS,
Berlin, Germany
- Fidelio: "Laura
Mann, with her lovely voice, is Marzelline."
