Critical Acclaim

"This young lady is special. She has the most distinctive dark complexion to her voice, and she sings and phrases with real fantasy. She alone really filled the house, and hearing the voice open to greet the coming spring in her Act I aria was for sure one of the high spots of the evening."
- Edward Seckerson, The Independent

"Melody Moore struck that perfect balance between sweet innocence and piety set in steel. Moore looked and sounded the part ‚ artless, chaste, virtuous, trusting. Her large lyric soprano has the power to stand up to Mephistopheles, but her youthful tone has the gentle warmth of sunshine."
- Ruth O. Bingham

"Melody Moore does have the combination of bel canto fluency and tonal substance to be credible in both the Act III jewel-box aria and the Act V heavenly ascent. Not all sopranos make the grade with each." - The Daily Telegraph

"As a foil for Susanna's glee, Melody Moore's Countess has a vulnerability that is heartbreaking to watch. Her rich, mellow tone shimmers in the gorgeous aria "Porgi, amor, qualche ristoro" ("Grant, love, some comfort"). Restless and frustrated, the countess' unwillingness to accept her situation is clear in Moore's steely sung dialogue." - Lindsay Christians, The Capital Times

"Melody Moore was a touching Mimi with a generous, smoothly produced soprano that filled out the Coliseum with apparent ease. Hers is a voice that has just that mix of spinto power and vulnerability that the role needs and she's singer who would not be out of place across the West End, singing the role on the Covent Garden stage." - Musical Criticism
