Washington National Opera’s The Magic Flute

“Pamina was American soprano Sydney Mancasola making her WNO debut and offering a master class in how to follow the column of sounds up and down the rigorous aria, Ach itch fühl’s…”

WHITNEY FISHBURN, DC METRO THEATER ARTS

”Pamina, soprano Sydney Mancasola never sounded anything but clear as a bell and winsome as the moon rising behind her.”

SYDNEY BOYD, BACHTRACK

”Sydney Mancasola’s Pamina brings a master class of a performance in “Ach ich fühl’s” fully using the legato lines to demonstrate the character’s sadness and allowing her voice to travel up and down fully and freely, which is not easy to do in that aria.”

DANIELLA IGNACIO, DC THEATRE SCENE

”No need to go to New York this year; you can hear the same thing here in Washington. Of the three Mancasola sounded the best to me on Saturday night, singing with a rich lyric sound and considerable affect.”

ANNE MIDGETTE, THE WASHINGTON POST
