βLeia Lensing, a mezzo whose low register revealed notable lushness, excelled in the title role. Her innately eloquent phrasing gave considerable emotional depth to Savitriβs fear, faith, and foresight.β

βMezzo-soprano Leia Lensing sang SΔvitri beautifully, hitting the high notes of her opening aria perfectly. Her dynamic range was secure throughout as she soared above the orchestra in lamentation of Deathβs approach.β
