Rachel Arky, Mezzo-Soprano
“Ms. Arky…was the comedic hero of the evening, quirky and boyish, but also loving and sexual both in character and in voice when need be…she has a great ability in her voice to sing these types of Mozart and Rossini roles in the way that Ms. Graham, as well as Joyce DiDonato, do so well.”

As the ill-fated Emmy, Rachel Arky contributed not only expressive phrasing and fine sound, but a convincingly, subtly acted portrayal ...Her romance about the dangers of vampires was vividly sung.”
