What the critics say... "Elegant as the bittersweet Countess, Philibosian shone…a superb actress and a singer of considerable individuality, not just in the Slavic timbre of her voice, but also in the creativity with which she devised appropriate ornaments in ‘Dove Sono’." ~Opera News (David Patrick Stearns) "…Philibosian’s Marie Therese exceptionally endearing, warm and articulate." ~Opera News "Philibosian is a find, blessed with a beautiful full lyric soprano, good looks and sex appeal." ~New York Times
"…big diva-ish soprano…big-house Salome…strong and safe, and a pleasure to hear." ~London Times "…an uncommon talent…sterling vocal technique. Miss Philibosian’s voice has an exciting clear vibrancy that is accompanied by a solid sense of theatrics." ~New York Post "Bewitching Salome …ravishing in appearance…marshaled her impressive vocal resources sensibly…the final scene crooned with wonderful decadence." ~Birmingham (England) Post "Philibosian was rapturous, hushed and intense…she rode atop a full orchestra impressively." ~Dallas Morning News "…large gleaming soprano that she used with tenderness." ~Washington Post "Nicole Philibosian performed with beauty and refinement…beautiful phrasing." ~Washington Post "Soprano Philibosian’s voice impressed me with its power and endurance. Her ability to ride over the orchestra’s sometimes extraordinary volume, remain on pitch and keep a satisfying tone stopped one’s breath." ~New Haven Register "…visually and vocally regal…" ~Richmond Times-Dispatch "Philibosian was a highlight…her phrasing was so graceful, her diction so clear, her vocal line so pure, we simply melted." ~Rochester (NY) Times Union "Philibosian enchants with another stunning performance…an outstanding talent… …audible gasps of pleasure and wonder came from the audience as she soared as Butterfly… we were transported by Puccini and Philibosian to rare emotional realms. ~The Denver Post
