REVIEWS
“Ms. Arwady brought deep, dark vocal richness and expressive nobility to Griselda.” (The New York Times, August 2011)
“Arwady showed that she is that rarity, a genuine contralto. Her singing was impressive, with a rich, dusky tone, evenly produced... with daunting power in the low notes.” (The Classical Review, August 2011)
“…and contralto Meredith Arwady - a former Merola star who has already made a stellar contribution to this fall's "Trittico" - sang resplendently as Marie's discovered aunt, the Marquise of Berkenfeld.” (San Francisco Chronicle, October 2009)
