“What gracious deity blessed humans with an instrument at once so forceful yet pure? It is a sound most fully embodied by the late Marian Anderson…but now, in this sanctuary the arias are sung by someone new, by Lori Brown Mirabal, a mezzo-soprano who is more than up to the challenge.” –Paul Watson, The Ridgewood News
“A dramatic entrance in full opera regalia sets the tone for the lively interactive program of opera performer Lori Brown Mirabal. With a passion for opera that can ignite the most passive audience, Mirabal combines superb musicality with a captivating gift for storytelling. Her presentation, designed for youngsters, delights adults as well and is a treat for anyone who has ever been intimidated by opera.” –Joanne Bonwick, The Ridgewood News
