Caroline Worra

“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.”

“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."

“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.”
