“Matching Printz’s presence, mezzo-soprano Courtney Miller made a vocally resplendent Ruggiero. Previously seen in decidedly feminine roles — such as Elmire in Kirke Mechem’s Tartuffe — Miller brought an astonishingly masculine Ruggiero, from the sharp planes of her face to her posture and stride.”

- Lisa Hirsch, San Francisco Classical Voice

“Mezzo-soprano Courtney Miller gave a moving portrait of Ruggiero.”(Bradamente’s beloved, who gradually realizes that he’s trapped in the flesh-pots of Alcina’s island.

- Nick Jones, California Musing

“Mezzo-soprano Courtney Miller is a convincing Ruggiero, with a clear, lucid voice and a masculine stage presence.”

- Charlise Tiee, The Opera Tattler

“Courtney Miller as Ruggiero was elegantly assertive both as a lover & then as a warrior.”

Patrick J. Vaz, Reverberate Hills
