In review…
“Kelly O’Shea, a striking mezzo, joined Stephanie Kim to sing the well-known (and therefore dangerous) “Dôme épais le jasmin,” from Delibes “Lakmé” The danger is that most everyone has heard the tune at some point, so if the vocalists are not quite in tune or the timing is problematic, the untrained ear will notice.
The duo sang with precision, confidence, effortless harmonies, and a flowing melody that charmed the audience and left them wanting more.
After her duet with Kim, O’Shea gave a solo performance of “Va! Laisse Couler mes larmes” from Massenet’s “Werther.” She fired up those in the seats with unleashed opening notes that made you sit up straight.
O’Shea’s voice is a force. Her expansive vocal range, commanding presence, and navigation through the low notes added a layer of drama to her performance.
