MEROLA GRAND FINALE

THE MEROLA OPERA PROGRAM


"Caroline Worra, another first-class performer, sang a thoroughly believable Nedda (I Pagliacci) in a beautifully developed, luscious voice that delighted the heart and ravished the ears. In the finale, Ah! A tal colpo inaspettato, from Rossinis Il Viaggio a Reims, she proved herself adept at comedy as well." (San Francisco Classical Voice - August 20, 2000)

IL CORSARO

PITTSBURGH OPERA CENTER


Soprano sails high C's in delightful staging of Verdi's Il Corsaro

"Soprano Caroline Worra stole the show as Gulnara, villain Pasha Seid's favorite slave girl in his harem. She handled the coloratura challenges with panache, inflecting ornate parts expressively, tossing off a fabulous fast trill, and projecting thrilling high notes above high C. She is as impressive singing softly as powerfully, and was sensitive in ensemble work. Worra is a singer to watch." (Pittsburgh Tribune - Dec 11, 1999)

Rolando Villazon as Alfredo and Caroline Worra as Violetta

   

"With her pearly tone and elegant technique, soprano Caroline Worra was a cool self-possessed Violetta, letting the character's uncertainties and misgivings register gradually over the course of the performance. Her singing was clear and often unruffled, growing deeper and more thoughtful in "Dite alla giovine,"when she finally decides to renounce Alfredo's love; she reeled off the glittering coloratura in Act 1's "Sempre libera" splendidly." (San Francisco Chronicle - August 11, 1998)

THE RAKE'S PROGRESS

PITTSBURGH OPERA CENTER

​


"Soprano Caroline Worra was a brilliant Anne Trulove as outstanding as she was in Verdi's "Il Corsaro" in December. If Verdi demanded bel-canto brilliance, Stravinsky challenges with irregular intervals. Worra triumphed over both. She has quite a career ahead of her." (Pittsburgh Tribune - March 2, 2000)

"Outstanding in the role of the ignored lover, Anne Trulove, Caroline Worra proved that good acting and good singing in opera are not mutually exclusive. With a minimum of motion, she appeared comfortable on the stage while never forgetting the importance of being understood vocally. Worra captivated the audience with her rich voice and she executed Stravinsky's interval leaps and sudden dynamic shifts brilliantly." (Pittsburgh Post Gazette - February 28, 2000)
