WEST BAY oPERA

“West Bay debutante Courtney Miller, playing Amina’s adoptive mother, was excellent, both in singing and acting.”

- Michael Zwiebach, SF Classical Voice

“West Bay Opera opens a big-sounding, stage-filling La sonnambula with a cast of principals who overall conquer triumphantly the range challenges the composer has given them…..The defending mother, Teresa, looks squarely with indignation and near disgust in the faces of the entire, accusing town and pushes up against the offending Elvino as Courtney Miller also wonderfully sings in resounding, rich mezzo soprano her belief of her daughter’s innocence.

- Eddie Reynolds, Theatre Eddys

La Sonnambula brims with melodious music that is delivered by a cast with outstanding voices….Mezzo Courtney Miller as Teresa, Amina’s mother, and Casey Germain as Count Rodolfo also deserve recognition for fine singing and acting.”

- Victor Cordell, Cordell Reports/Berkshire Fine Arts

“Providing a solid foundation for all these gymnastics are mezzo Courtney Miller as Amina’s foster mother Teresa and bass Casey Germain as Count Rodolfo. Miller’s mezzo is beautifully even and pure.”

- Michael J Vaughn, The Almanac
