5 REFERENCES Dr. Janette Ogg Voice Faculty Shenandoah University Office: Home: PERFORMANCE REVIEWS...und die amerikanische Mezzosopranistin Dr. Kathryn Green das Publikum mit ihrer wunderschönen Stimme verzaubert. Berliner Zeitung (Berlin, Germany) (Eine Salat ist kein Essen) A supreme lyric mezzo-soprano. New York Times (NY, NY) (Pomp, Duck & Circumstance) Und wenn Die U.S. Amerikanerin Kathryn Green ihre Stimme erhebt, verwandelt sich das Pomp-Zelt in ein Opernhaus. Die ausgebildete Mezzosopranistin ist eine Vollblut Sängerin, discipliniert und spontan, stimmgewaltig und einfühlsam. Berliner Morgenpost (Pomp, Duck & Circumstance) Ms. Green was strong and very eloquent with the rather low-lying mezzo solos. Her lower register is not just impressive in accuracy and skill, its sound is remarkably beautiful just in itself. The precise twining and twisting of the music is so often buried and lost in the vibrato of the mezzo, while Ms. Green was as true as could be, with every note. Morning News (Erie, PA) (Handel s Messiah) The fine Suzuki, played by Kathryn Green, did some of the evening s finest singing and acting. Jamestown Gazette (New York) (Madama Butterfly) Mezzo-soprano Kathryn Green possesses a warm, velvety voice, its darkness well-suited to the drama of this work...she sang with consistent energy and passion. Morning News (Erie, PA) June 1988 (Verdi s Requiem) 5
