“Soprano Corrie Donovan’s soul stripping rendition of Kurt Weill’s Je ne t’aime pas as well as her physical presence on the stage gave the couple courage to fully let themselves go which in turn made their performance more dynamic and believable.”

“Yesterday , the talented international soprano, Corrie Donovan, presented in a magical evening at Hacienda San Cristobal; was accompanied by young musicians of the Symphony Orchestra of Fox Center, and they gave a night to remember .

”What a great way to start a season full of life , magic and joy, with melodies that touch the heart ! “ Said Mrs. Marta Sahagun, at the end of the presentation.”

“The five young musicians who performed Friday exhibited musicality and technique.”

“Corrie Donovan’s many years performing in Bass Hall were on full display as she evoked a tempestuous sound that was both polished and distinctively powerful in “Wild Swans.” ”

“ARIADNE AUF NAXOS - ECHO - FORT WORTH OPERA

Corrie Donovan, as a luminous Echo, has another of the voices I’d be interested to hear more.”

“WHY I LIVE AT THE P.O. BOX - SISTER 1 - FORT WORTH OPERA FRONTIERS

Corrie Donovan, herself a daughter of the South, went to town as the narrating Sister 1, smacking her lips over every syllable of the Pretty-Sweet poison she dispenses.”

““OUT OF THE LOOP” FRINGE FESTIVAL

The waltz is a benchmark for younger sopranos, and Donovan surpasses the high water mark in her presentation... she took a more playful and focused swing at the music and found a striking balance between the tune and its lyrics.

Showing a simpler, more vulnerable side, Donovan displayed the total control she has over her instrument.”

“LE NOZZE DI FIGARO - BARBARINA - FORT WORTH OPERA

Among the briefer roles, the Barbarina of Corrie Donovan was particularly impressive.”

“CONCERT WITH AWARD WINNING SONG WRITER & COMPOSER JOHN BUCCHINO - THE CLIBURN

All singers did a great job crossing from opera to cabaret, which is not always a comfortable transition. All sang from memory and with spot-on nuance. These songs are little mini dramas and the singers brought the requisite acting ability to make them believable.”

“HYDROGEN JUKEBOX - 2ND SOPRANO - FORT WORTH OPERA

The Opera presented what is surely this year’s most significant area operatic event.

All the six singers have an organic sense about them; each feeds of the emotion off the others and strengthens the performance. The acting ability of each is top-notch.”

“WORLD PREMIER AMERICAN MUSIC FUND CONCERT

Another high point was Heitor Villa-Lobos’ familiar and lovely Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5, performed hauntingly by Rojas and soprano Corrie Donovan.

I found Donovan’s voice appealing in all three pieces she sang. It’s lyrical, and in the acoustics of the museum auditorium, piercing at times.”
