Joyce El-Khoury

03 October, 2016

Joyce El-Khoury as Liu was outstanding. Her voice, fresh and lovely, also touched the heart with its plangent tones. Her graphic onstage suicide was shocking.

Soprano Joyce El-Khoury played Tatyana Bakst, a “Three Faces of Eve” wannabe who predictably steals the show in her over-the-top rendering of a Super Bowl “Star Spangled Banner.” El-Koury’s voice was powerful and penetrating, and her depiction of her shamelessly self-promoting character was disarmingly authentic.

On Saturday night, El-Khoury scored a triumph in the title role, combining an exquisite delicacy of sound with affecting vulnerability — yet producing plenty of steel in the confrontation scene in which she denounces Elizabeth as a “vil bastarda.” On Sunday, few in the house realized that El-Khoury had just sung this taxing role the previous evening — and you couldn’t tell it from her Sunday performance, either. Skillfully saving her voice when she could, singing full-out when it counted, El-Khoury rallied for a remarkable show and a final mighty effort, a brave high D. Brava!
