"With impressive tone and dead-on pitch throughout a wide range, and a fierce command of words, Jennifer Johnson Cano was mightily impressive as a moving, articulate Virginia Woolf. She's become a matchless interpreter of contemporary opera."
— Opera News
“Cano’s portrayal of Woolf was 100% there: Every word was clear both in content and intention, and her mezzo-soprano tone was deeply alluring.”
— Philadelphia Inquirer
“Cano sings with mellow sobriety — and, in Woolf’s darkest moments, stricken intensity.”
— New York Times
“The stand-out singing came from mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnson Cano, as Virginia Woolf, certainly the most theatrically and vocally challenging role in the opera, which Cano brought off with thoughtful phrasing and luminous tonality.”
