“Ms. Boen was electrifying in the two Fiordiligi arias.”

“The warm-voiced soprano Olivia Boen and versatile mezzo Emily Fons portrayed Fiordiligi and Dorabella in impressive style, sailing through their ornate vocal lines confidently; rarely are the triplets of ‘Come scoglio’ dispatched with Boen’s natural ease.”

“Boen’s breathtakingly robust low extension is the stony foundation of Fiordiligi’s resistance in her athletic “Come scoglio,” while her frequent, ringing upper passage work adorns the musical landscape like a magnolia in full bloom; her delicately touching ‘Per pietà, ben mio perdona’ is, in itself, a convincing argument for the value of opera.”
