Ms. Hennessey’s debut as Katya Kabanova

“Hennessey in particular brought a wondrous blend of silvery tone and sinuous phrasing to her assignment…Hennessey’s performance touched perfectly on Katya’s anxiety, joys and uncertainty, all through a surge of Puccinian lyricism.”
– Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle

“The production makes a powerful impression because the singers convey these emotional movements so clearly and naturally. And chief praise goes, as it must, to Carrie Hennessey, who tackles Katya with fearless energy and a beautifully modulated soprano.”                                                                                    – Michael Zwiebach, San Francisco Classical Voice
