Kudos to Emily Birsan for her recent role debut as Mimi in “La bohème” with the Bangor Symphony Orch
“Tenor John Bellemer and soprano Emily Birsan portrayed star-crossed but doomed lovers Rodolfo and Mimi. Their voices intertwined like vines. Birsan’s Mimi was a woman with a tenacious soul but delicate constitution too fragile for bohemian poverty. The soprano’s beautifully balanced voice so charmed theatergoers that some wept at Mimi’s demise.” -Bangor Daily News
“In her first appearance as Mimi, Emily Birsan gave a sympathetic portrayal of the dying seamstress, singing with confidence and beautiful style.” -The Ellsworth American
