Reviews

In what was a role-dominating performance, Kolosova sang and acted with such skill and confidence that she commanded the stage with her larger-than-life portrayal, and her depiction of the judge in the final act was superb. Listening to her sing, one could not help but be impressed by her vocal strength and security. There was never any sense of anxiety or the need to force the voice, and her ability in using it to shape her character, with the use of coloring, intonation, and emotional accents, was excellent. Hers was a Begbick that exuded control, allowing her to dictate to those around her with ease.
