Other recent performances in New York City include the role of Fiordiligi in Mozart's beloved Così fan tutte with Amore Opera at the Riverside Theatre, and the title character in Flotow's Martha with Utopia Opera, garnering praise for a "winning" performance, with "attractive trills" and "impressive leaps about the scale.”
