*  Sop. Sungji Kim came onstage in Act II as a saucy and presumptuous character, and took the stage immediately with a real vocal edge to her sound. Ms.Kim’s waltz aria endeared her to the audience as she lured Marcello into her web. (Apr. 2015 Town Topics in Princeton)

*  A continual pleasure to see onstage was soprano Sungji Kim, who found a strong depth of character in Norina. Ms.Kim played the role as a smart cookie who pulled out all the stops when necessary. With a voice that spun off high coloratura with ease, Ms.Kim was especially impressive with her ease with fast-moving passages, breath control, and dramatic vocal tone. Ms.Kim clearly has a future in 19th- century lead soprano roles. (Feb.2013 Town Topics in Princeton)
