Dorabella in Cosi fan tutte

"Mezzo-soprano Emily Fons combines stylized robotic movement with luxurious legato as Dorabella, her shimmering coloratura a glimpse of the prowess she must bring to her multiple Handel roles."
 
 
"There is no lack of talent onstage, in the wings or in the pit here. The female leads truly run away with the show. Olivia Boen gives a gorgeous vocal performance as Fiordiligi, Emily Fons (and her herky-jerky blond wig) is sidesplittingly funny in the first act as Dorabella and returning performer Ann Toomey (previously seen in Detroit’s “Die Walküre”) manages to transcend the premise and give a kind of rock star performance as robot maid Despina."
