Press Quotes

"The youthful, attractive and accomplished young leads were Duke Kim and Magdalena Kuźma. Kuźma, who’s done small parts at the Met, showed a memorable timbre and strikingly good technique in both Juliette’s coloratura flourishes and the testing “Amour ranime mon courage,” quite thrillingly done, with a knowing sense of phrasing. She and Kim worked together admirably. "

"Kuzma's voice stood out musically and dramatically ...conveying star quality. "
