CRITICAL ACCLAIM

FROM OPERA NEWS, THE NEW YORK TIMES & MORE

MOZART AND BEETHOVEN WITH JANE GLOVER

NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC

"Her sizeable voice, with its slightly veiled quality, captured all of the vacillating emotions of the piece. In the opening recitative, she was especially attentive to text and dynamics. While in the aria, Slack sang with a special sensitivity to line until exploding with fury when giving voice to the woman’s rage."

NEW YORK CLASSICAL REVIEW

“the orchestra provided sensitive accompaniment for the soprano Karen Slack. Making her Philharmonic debut, she inhabited the piece’s shifting moods, from anger at a treacherous lover to vulnerability to proud resolution, with strikingly clear high notes by the end.”

THE NEW YORK TIMES

TOSCA

EDMONTON OPERA

"Slack carried herself with the right mix of grace and fire befitting one of opera’s great diva roles."

SCHMOPERA

"Slack presented a Tosca, before she becomes a tragic figure, as Cavaradossi’s insecure, girlish lover, coaxing him to include her dark eyes in his painting of the Madonna. Their opening scene is the only light moment in the otherwise bloody matter, and Slack drew laughs as she teasingly nudged her lover toward a concession. She is the heroine of act two, as she resists Scarpia’s devious effort to win her sexual consent. In her confrontation with Scarpia, in her moments of sheer panic, Slack sang the high C’s Puccini gave her to slash the air in desperation penetratingly, as sharp-edged a sound as the knife’s edge she later plunged into Scarpia in the climax of the act."
