IOLANTHE - FAIRY QUEEN
“As Queen of the Fairies, Cary Ann Rosko simply cracks me up. Her timing and facial expressions are superb, and she invests every role with heartwarming vulnerability.”
Philip Campbell, The Bay Area Reporter (2018)
THE GONDOLIERS - duchess of plaza toro
“Cary Ann Rosko played the Duchess with a bit of a twinkle in her eye, always stepping in to get the Duke to up his game. She made her second act solo come alive by her top rate acting, keeping the audience interested by really telling the story while thrilling us with her lush contralto."
Jeff DeMarco, Peninsula Reviews (2018)
city of angels -donna/oolie
“Rosko’s characters stood head and shoulders above the rest in terms of believability and period/genre-appropriateness.”
Harry Duke, Sonoma County Gazette (2015)
The marriage of figaro - cherubino
“Mezzo-soprano Cary Ann Rosko shines in a pants role as Cherubino, the Count’s flirtatious young page, whom the Count suspects is having an affair with his wife. Rosko’s impish antics are delightful, especially when Susanna and the Countess dress him in girl’s clothes as a disguise. Rosko’s Act II aria “You ladies know what love is” was well sung and the leap out the window that followed comically executed.”
Geneva Anderson, ARThound (2014)
emmeline - aunt hannah
“Cary Ann Rosko gives a chilling performance in the role of Emmeline’s Aunt Hannah - an acerbic, pious but still human character working beautifully off of Hennessey’s sweetness.”
Richard Riccardi, Classical Sonoma (2010)
