“The role of Constance fell to a
young American, Laura Hynes Smith,
whose quality of French diction could
be desired of many of our French
compatriots. She lent a mixture of
ingenuity and the required gravity to
the character as well as a full voice
whose timbre is of an exquisite
naturalness. Someone to follow!”
-Maurice Salles, Forum Opera

“The American Laura Hynes Smith
was a Constance approached from
the interior (without the superficial
mannerisms we often run into), whose
charming lyricism was complimented
by flawless diction. "
- Betrand Bolognesi

“The young soloists - also blending
well in ensemble singing - were
captivating in the various solo parts
with an amazing richness of
expressivity, depth of feeling and
flexibility, as well as a striking
technical security - like the soprano
Laura Hynes Smith with her
astonishing high notes.”
