Anna Christy
"Christy was even more charming and funny, tracing the florid vocal gymnastics of her big, 13-minute showpiece aria with such silvery ease and fluidity as to draw the evening's biggest ovation." (Chicago Tribune, November 2011)

REVIEWS
“Soprano Anna Christy, so delectable as the mechanical doll Olympia in Lyric's "Tales of Hoffmann" earlier this season, was even more charming and funny as the coquette Zerbinetta, tracing the florid vocal gymnastics of her big, 13-minute showpiece aria with such silvery ease and fluidity as to draw the evening's biggest ovation.” (Ariadne auf Naxos, Lyric Opera Chicago - Chicago Tribune, November 2011)
“Oberon and Tytania, the latter radiantly sung by Anna Christy, a soprano who's completely at home in the ethereal stratosphere of Britten's coloratura writing. (Chicago Tribune, November 2010)
“As his fractious spouse Tytania, Anna Christy was a regal presence with her mile-long gown train. The soprano handled the vocalism and humor with equal flair, her high voice assaying Tytania’s mock-coloratura with ease.” (Chicago Classical Review, November 2010)
