What Critics Are Saying

Moulton Faux’s voice was just as shining in Pärt’s setting of a 4th century Egyptian parable of the Abbot meeting and aiding a leper he meets on the road to the market. Her pure intonation and excellent articulation served the exactitude of Pärt’s writing, a careful display of the story, the narrative and thematic transformation of the simple and ordinary into the spiritual.

Soprano Sarah Moulton Faux was impressive as Gilda. From the moment she first opened her mouth on stage we were struck by the freshness of her talent. She achieved a purity of sound as she belted out many of her most poignant lines. Her singing is truly angelic, rivaling even the experience of hearing Sonya Yoncheva in this role at the Met this season. Moulton Faux embodied all the piercing lyrical innocence demanded of a moving Gilda with perfect Italian diction. Her rendition of Caro nome was pure bravura and her duets with Rigoletto heart wrenching. She also really carried the quartet in Act III, Bella figlia dell’amore, with the force of her sustained high notes, her voice taking the harmonies of the other three voices into the upper atmosphere, both striking like lightning through the tempest and rising up above the storm clouds of the opera’s grand finale. She was a revelation.

…Gilda, is played by stunning soprano Sarah Moulton Faux. In her solos and duets, she is absolutely mesmerizing. Her mastery of the role is wonderfully obvious. Brava!

Sarah Moulton Faux as Rosina is the news. From the moment she appears in her window, imprisoned by a guardian who wants to marry her, with no escape routes in evidence, the audience is entranced. She is a winsome beauty with a voice to match. As she darts around the stage, staining her fingers with ink trying to write her way out of the clutches of Bartolo, and dropping and dropping notes and hints all over the place, her voice is a hearty, ringing tone of beauty. She is lyrical, but occasionally rough around the edges, and these extremes tug at the heart. Not for a moment did I wish for the mezzo which some prefer in the role. Faux throws herself into Rosina, and is charming as the willful, conniving ward.
