In Review: Zetlan and Yankovskaya in Opera Saratoga's "Ellen West"


"Ms. Zetlan’s tour de force Ellen commanded unwavering attention; she was unafraid to edge her soprano into harshness for the sake of intensity." -The Wall Street Journal

"Soprano Jennifer Zetlan as the frail Ellen moves as if in a trance, rarely making eye contact with the audience. In moments of fury, she sings with a force that comes from the gut and lands in the gut."

-Albany Times Union

" . . .soprano Jennifer Zetlan as West were brilliant. Besides superior singing, their diction was excellent...The musicians, who could be seen through the window in the set, were superb; Lidiya Yankovskaya was the excellent conductor." -The Daily Gazette
