"Alyson Cambridge was an extremely musical and insightful Mimi. Her radiant
singing epitomized the transient beauty that Mimi herself represents; each
note blossomed like the flowers opening in spring and it was absolutely
charming to see a Mimi with a beautiful smile. When Mimi touches Rodolfo’s
outstretched hand in the dark as they search for her key, Cambridge
murmured a small “oh.” The simplicity and reality of the moment was
perfect.." -- Alison Moritz, Opera Today, July 2009

Donna Elvira in DON GIOVANNI ~ Opera Cleveland 2009:
"Alyson Cambridge made Donna Elvira both funny and sympathetic. Her
mussed hair showed the distraction of the character, while the slightly
overdone gestures gave just the touch of humor the role requires. She sang
decisively throughout. Her "Mi tradì" was played as a confrontation between
her desire for the Don and her repulsion of his faithless ways. It was a highlight
of vocal splendor and dramatic acting for Act II." -- Alan Montgomery,

Musetta in LA BOHEME ~ Portland Opera 2009:
Alyson Cambridge (Musetta) is so wonderfully over the top in everything she
does that she steals this act. It doesn't hurt that she's in a lavish yellow dress.
She owns every ounce of Musetta and her lavish attempts to make Marcello
jealous….Another high point of this act is the return of Musetta which Alyson
plays much more reserved and down to earth than in Act II. She is superb as
she effortlessly displays both her emotional and vocal range.” – Geoff
