Reviews "...Molly Mustonen brought a rich soprano voice and lovely grace to Nina..." - Anthony Tommasini, New York Times "...Soprano Molly Mustonen gave a sensitive, nuanced portrayal of Nina's progression from innocent, idealistic naif into a woman who, though battered by life's storms, has come to know and believe in herself...." - Arlo McKinnon, Opera News "...Molly Mustonen (Nina) sang with passion and grace. She really shined in her extended duets with Constantine and Trigorin, and she and Haja cut a handsome couple. Her luscious voice carried her well throughout the performance..." - Victor Wheeler, The Classical Source "...In particular, Molly Mustonen brought a powerful sound and striking stage presence to Tallulah..." - Steve Smith, New York Times "...one could glean that there was real talent in the cast. Molly Mustonen, as Tallulah, made the strongest effect, perhaps because she was playing the opera's most thoughtful character - its Countess Almaviva figure ... She did not seem to have taken the measure of Dicapo's 200-seat theater - at high volume, her bright lyric soprano seemed to overload the space - but she created a touching figure. Her diction was also commendable..." - Fred Cohn, Opera News "...A height of romantic tragedy was reached quite easily by Mustonen...the soulful soprano consistently maintained a haunting air of dreamy fragility. A soft, affectionate woman, Mustonen's deeply emotional aria...marked by the somber words, 'I blame my breaking heart,' truly grips that of the viewer, as the bright and extraordinarily expressive vocalist performs splendidly." - Olga Privman, Review Fix "...The protagonists were Tallulah (soprano Molly Mustonen)...Mustonen offered lavishly vocalized laments..."- Bruce-Michael Gelbert, Qmetropolis.com "...the performance of "Hotel Casablanca" proved to be nothing short of sensational. Funny and charming...and performed in excellent voice, particularly Molly Mustonen in the role of Tallulah..." - Douglas Harrington, Hapmtons.com "...Of the singers, a few should be mentioned...Molly Mustonen in Jonny Spielt Auf has a really large and potentially powerful spinto sound...."- Beckmesserschmitt, Opera-L Audio Mi Chiamano Mimi, La Boheme - Puccini The Trees on the Mountains, Suzannah - Floyd Video Photos
