"At times, director Amy Hutchison’s fluid staging moved the terrific singers, Samantha Attaguile and Jonathan Wilson, from the platform into the audience, a nice symbolic touch."
"Both Attaguile and Wilson sang very well and did a marvelous job of externalizing Hannah’s inner conflicts.... Attaguile was especially compelling as a singing actor, drawing our empathy without ever having to beg for it, or, for that matter, needing to. Her final observation was pitch-perfect."

"Samantha Attaguile was just as fine a partner as Hannah After. Showing a flexible and attractive mezzo-soprano, she was charming in the humorous moments and brought daunting intensity to the attack scene, handling the stratospheric moments with impressive security.
The singers’ voices blended felicitously in their many duetted moments. Wilson and Attaguile are both superb actors and were consistently credible throughout, always selling the action and character, even in the libretto’s talkier moments."

"Mezzo-soprano Samantha Attaguile (Hannah After) revealed a rich tone quality at the low extreme of her register as well as when the score allowed phrases of lyricism." Oliver Camacho, Vocal Arts Chicago Read the full review here. |
"Attaguile crudely snarled the words of her attacker to great dramatic effect."
