“Sir John in Love, a touchingly melancholy comedy....at its most emotionally piercing when Alice Ford [Courtney Miller] sings “Greensleeves."....From Oren Gradus as Falstaff, Courtney Miller as Alice Ford, Michael Chioldi as Ford, and Cindy Sadler as the robust Mistress Quickly, down to resonant septuagenarian Robert Honeysucker in the cameo role of the Host of the Garter Inn, there wasn’t a weak link in the cast.”
- Lloyd Schwartz, New York Arts
“Seldom is opera in English so easy to follow. Or so much fun. Odyssey makes “Sir John” seem less like an opera than like an exquisitely acted play that happens to be sung....Courtney Miller as Mistress Ford and Mara Bonde as Mistress Page make an engaging pair of conspirators.”
- Jeffrey Gantz, Boston Globe
“Fine singing also characterized the rest of the cast. Courtney Miller and Mara Bonde each brought feathery voices to the roles of Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Page respectively.”
- Aaron Keebaugh, Boston Classical Review
