“ . . . and for the old prioress, Madame de Croissy (Carlyle Quinn), whose riveting death scene is one of the outstanding moments in the first act. These three characters stood out for their vocal prowess and acting acumen.”

“. . . tenor ChanceJonas O’Toole impressed as the feckless Jo the Loiterer, who wants to marry Indiana Elliot (the assertive Mezzo Carlyle Quinn) . . .”
“ . . . paired with mezzo Carlyle Quinn’s Annie Oakley-ish Indiana Elliot.”
“ . . . the brash Carlyle Quinn . . .”

“Carly[le] Cooney [Quinn] aus den USA erfreute die Neumarkter ganz besonders, denn ihr Vortrag, die Arie des Orfeo, kam aus der Feder von Christoph Willibald Gluck. Die Jungstudentin verstand es ausgezeichnet, mit ihrer Altstimme der Dramaturgie des Textes zu folgen.”
“Überhaupt erweisen sich die Frauen als besonders intensive Gestalterinnen: auch die angeblich erst 17 Jahre alte Jungstudentin Carla [Carlyle] Cooney [Quinn], die sehr geschmackvoll und mit samtener Tiefe die berühmteste Gluck-Arie sang.”
Young Artist Debut! Concert
Metroarts
“In the second half, mezzo Carly[le] Cooney [Quinn] offered “Che farò senza Euridice,” from Gluck’s “Orfeo ed Euridice,” with a lustrous tone and impressive expression. Even after hearing dozens of the young musicans MetroArts has featured, invariably I have moment of disbelief at the concerts, and this was one of them. You can make that sound, and you’re really 13? C’mon, let’s see your driver’s license. Oh, wait, you don’t even have a learner’s permit yet.”
