“Now to the spectacular: Throughout the program, Moore was riveting- a dazzling stage presence. Her lyric soprano, more than powerful enough to fill the hall, displayed a shimmering luster, effortless flexibility and a remarkable range of color. From Puccini’s “Un bel di” from “Madama Butterfly” to “My Man’s Gone Now’ from “Porgy and Bess” to “Moon River”, one sensed that this woman could sing anything in any style, with stunning results.” –Gene Harris, Richmond Times

“Aundi Marie Moore nearly walked off with the opera in the supporting role of Ali’s mother, Odessa. Her radiant soprano lit up the Terrace Theater even when she was just softly humming; her portrayal was remarkably detailed and touching. Sparr stepped into cliche territory when putting an obvious jazz/gospel spin on Odessa’s vocal lines, but Moore made them sound perfectly natural. A stirring performance.” –Tim Smith, Baltimore Sun
