Press Quotes

"At the top reigned Alexandria Shiner, whose musical and dramatic range has already made quite an impression in her work at Washington National Opera over the last two seasons. The dramatic soprano, who hails from Waterford, Michigan, crowned the musical climaxes of the second act with potent strength and a creamy vocal finish. She was also incredibly funny as the eye-rolling diva behind the scenes"
