Press & Critical Acclaim
"The title role was radiantly sung and played by soprano Kristin K. Vogel."
American Record Guide
Die Fledermaus
"What was unexpected was the explosive return of Kristin K. Vogel — in an electrifying performance. Ms. Vogel is a consummate actress, her ability to combine sensitive musicality with genuine passion in her vocal performance is remarkable."
Herald Journal
Madama Butterfly
"Kristin Vogel gave us a genuinely lyric and beautiful performance as Marguerite, exhibiting both power and superb vocal control."
Out in New Jersey
Faust
"Newcomer Kristin Vogel made up for everything as a self-composed Mimì, her jewel-toned soprano darting like a butterfly — this production's strength was the sheer force of the singing."
Tacoma News Tribune
La Bohème
"Sympathetic dramatic contrast came from the Queen's daughter, Pamina, sung by Kristin Vogel. Paminas are sometimes cast as frail characters, but not in this case. Ms. Vogel sang with authority and sensitivity to the phrasing and mood of the text."
Town Topics, Princeton
Die Zauberflöte
"Kristin K. Vogel is outstanding, making her second season with the company memorable. She is able to incorporate perfect passion into her dynamics, going from hard to soft, not just loud to quiet."
Deseret News
Madama Butterfly
"Kristin Vogel, channeling 1950s star Ann Blyth, made an effervescent Marietta, and looked smashing in her gowns. She was vocally assured, too."
