“As Euridice, soprano Alexis Aimé has a beautiful voice that resonates soundly in the theater over the equally gorgeous orchestra. [As Public Opinion] In addition to their strong voices, Ms. Aimé and Mr. Herr have great comedy instincts that make them stand out.”

“Alexis Aimé, as The Female Chorus, was the audience’s moral compass; though removed from the story, her compassion and concern for Lucretia was palpable, especially in “She Sleeps as a Rose.” Aimé, a soprano, has an impressive range; she shone in her strong lower register as well as her upper one.”
