Review: Cinderella at
Wolf Trap Opera
"Whether slouching inelegantly in a chair after housework or gliding serenely into the prince’s castle, Shannon Jennings was a natural in the title role. The soprano’s refulgent tone and intense phrasing when Cendrillon reminded her self-absorbed stepsisters of the duty to help the poor was an early sit-up-and-take-notice moment in the evening, and her performance continued to yield vivid results."
