IN REVIEW
JUNGLE BOOK
“Figueroa delivers the standout performance of the production. Her “story in motion,” choreographed by Shuchi Buch and interpreted through Bharatanatyam by the Taal Academy dancers, vividly recounts Bagheera’s captivity and escape, evoking both sympathy and admiration. “
“Kresley Figueroa’s soulful Bagheera…showcases stunning operatic prowess, elevating the vocal landscape of the production.”

FALSTAFF
“Standouts among the cast included…Kresley Figueroa, whose creamy soprano floated all the money notes in Nannetta’s duets with Michael Butler in the role of Fenton, and she created the necessary magic summoning the fairies in the Act 3 aria ‘Sul fil d’un soffio etesio.’”

THE LION, THE UNICORN, AND ME
BACH: MAGNIFICAT
The joyful, 30-minute cantata benefited from McGegan’s vivid leadership, drawing lively playing from the orchestra (especially a tangy trio of trumpets up-top sonically), and golden-voiced singing from five personality-rich soloists. The women’s trio of soprano Kresley Figueroa and mezzos Adja Thomas and Hannah Shea created a moment of lyrical bliss in the penultimate aria.

MENDELSSOHN’S
A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM
“The singers, identified as ‘elves’ in the program (although Shakespeare called them fairies), sing the familiar words (“Weaving spiders come not here …'“). They got appropriately fey readings from the silvery voices of soprano Kresley Figueroa and mezzo-soprano Sun-Ly Pierce.”
