Mezzo-soprano Geneva Halverson’s red-plumed Witch sparked real terror during the singer’s taunting “Nibble, nibble, mousey, who’s nibbling at my housey?” in the third act, before an even more chilling “Hocus pocus, witch’s spell!” its final line hissed like a serpent with devilish glee.
-Opera Canada
“Mezzo-soprano Geneva Halverson brought dramatic intensity to Télaïre’s jealous sister Phébé, commanding the stage with every entrance, including the singer’s all-guns-blazing “Sortez, sortez d’esclavage.”
-Opera Canada
“Mezzo-soprano Geneva Halverson as the Second Lady equally brought dramatic intensity to the stage with every note and withering glare; the singer’s penetrating vocals always fully in command.”
-Opera Canada
“Halverson displayed an entire spectrum of vocal colours, matched by seamless phrasing, during Part II’s perennial crowd-pleaser, “How beautiful are the feet.”
-Holly Harris, Winnipeg Free Press
