"Ms. Nancarrow ... once again demonstrated that she has a wonderful and strong soprano voice and commanding stage presence. On stage she is expressive and at ease, it seems, in whatever role she lends her considerable talents. Her duet with ... baritone John Whittlesey, who sang the role of Germont opposite her Violetta, was one of the many high points in this cumulative production". Opera Online, July 31, 2004
