Laura Claycomb reviews

"...the audience burst in to prolonged applause as the fledgling diva capped Gilda's dreamy exit following "Caro nome," the end of which she sang lying on her back, with the unwritten E above high C..." (William Albright, Opera ) "She brought down the house Friday at the Wortham Theater Center with her musically elegant and vocally thrilling performance of Gilda's familiar aria Caro nome...After astonishing clear scales in the brief cadenza near the aria's end, she finished off with a series of trills on each note of the final chord, climbing methodically but effortlessly to her high E. Immediately, HGO's opening night audience let loose more vocal mayhem than it has in many years. ....Ms. Claycomb showed no limits. While singing so beautifully, she inhabited the role completely.....Ms. Claycomb's faultless technique...." (Charles Ward, Houston Chronicle )
