Biller brings her “bright and flexible” voice to AZ “Fille”
“A passionate Marie, SUSANNAH BILLER was a veritable energizer bunny onstage. Her voice is bright and flexible with a good bloom on top and a tiny bit of steel in it. Having created an exciting character, she sang with agility as well as passion.” -Opera Today
“. . . soprano SUSANNAH BILLER, making her role debut. She soars to that high register and never once does her beautiful, goose bumps-inducing soprano fade or weaken beneath the stain of Donizetti’s challenging writing. If she was this fabulous in her first ever try at Marie, imagine how amazing she is going to be once she grows more fully into the role. She also has a comedian’s sense of timing and wonderfully funny body language.” -Arizona Daily Star
“Years ago, I saw this opera in San Francisco with the great Joan Sutherland who sang Marie with her superb vocal brilliance but the fabled bel canto soprano missed most of Donizetti’s bewitching comic revelry. But the local production featured the radiant young soprano SUSANNAH BILLER who brought Sutherland’s sumptuous vocalism but Biller added hysterical comic shenanigans to the part. Biller could soon become the Marie to beat at major opera companies throughout the world.” -Curtain Up Phoenix
