“La soprano Théodora Cottarel prête un bien beau talent d’actrice et de diseuse à toutes ces mélodies…”
SCHMOPERA
“Cottarel’s smooth, resonant tone… Owens and Cottarel exhibit natural chemistry in their character portrayals that makes their recitative fluid and conversational and their emotion authentic.”
