LA BOHČME; Lyric Opera of Kansas City

 

“Katrina Thurman played the flirtatious and independent Musetta, the once and future lover of Rodolfo’s friend Marcello. . . her soprano voice . . is appealing and matches her character well. Thurman also proved to be a fine actress in one of the opera’s most comic moments. She kept lifting her skirt to show her leg while her embarrassed lover Alcindoro attempted to pull the skirt down.”

"Katrina Thurman as Musetta was perfect in both voice and in her depiction of 19th century sluttiness, all the more appropriate for her later transformation to an empathetic, caring person during Mimi's death scene." - Classical Voice of North Carolina

"The singing is first-rate... Bojan Knezivic as Marcello and Katrina Thurman as Musetta make another fine pair of singing lovers... Thurman also succeeds in tickling the collective funny bone in the way she complains about that "pain" in her foot."- Winston-Salem Journal
