REVIEWS:

Papagena, THe Magic Flute at Michigan Opera Theatre

"In her brief appearance as Papagena, soprano and Grosse Pointe native Angela Theis was charming."

-The Detroit News, George Bulanda, May 2016

Laurie, The Tender Land at Michigan Opera Theatre

"Soprano Angela Theis was perfectly cast: with a youthful tone and expressive face she was a believably teenaged Laurie Moss, even while conjuring heartbreak and longing with evident maturity. As graceful as she was sweet, Theis played Laurie with quirky realism and the relaxed delivery Copland’s pastoral style demands."

-Opera News, Jennifer Goltz-Taylor, March 2016

"As Laurie, soprano Angela Theis sang with a light and lyric soprano that proved as charming as she looked in her gingham party dress. She mustered the grit to transform from ingenue to womanly maturity and walk off the stage, suitcase in hand, with the conviction that she's ready for whatever the world throws at her."

-Detroit Free Press, Mark Stryker, March 2016

CLORINDA, La Cenerentola at Opera Roanoke

"Cenerentola’s stepsisters — played with elegance, vocal ability and excellent timing by Angela Theis (Clorinda) and Kathryn Kelly (Tisbe) — were hilariously selfish, barely able to stop quarreling with each other long enough to hurt the heroine."

-The Roanoke Times, Matthew Franke, March 2015

"As Cenerentola’s other spoiled stepsister, soprano Angela Theis was also a consummate mistress of Rossinian comedy, launching Act One with a lively 'No, no, no, no: non v'è chi trinciar sappia così leggerissimo sciassè.’ She took the high line in ensembles with poise, showing off a fine top B, and her singing of 'Ah! Parlar, pensar vorrei, parlar, pensar, non so' and Clorinda’s string of sustained top As in the Act One Finale was first-rate. Her voice shone in the Sextet in Act Two, and she gave a fine, genuinely funny performance of her aria, also the work of Luca Agolini, 'Sventurata! sventurata, sventurata! mi credea comandar, comandar seduta in trono,' capping the vocal line with solid top B♭s. "

-Voix des Arts, Joseph Newsome, March 2015

ADINA, L'elisir d'amore at EUGENE OPERA

"Adina, played by Angela Theis, allowed the youthful ring in her voice to charm the audience despite her character's admitted capriciousness...She was incredibly enjoyable to watch, primarily because every physical gesture she made was linked to a musical gesture she was making with her voice."

-The Register-Guard, Heather Homquest, January 2015

Mabel, Pirates of Penzance at Eugene Opera

 "Angela Theis was marvelous in the coloratura role of Mabel, Frederic’s beloved. The key to spoofing opera is being able to sing like an opera star. And in her signature aria, Theis warbled as beautifully as any Lucia di Lammermoor. Her voice is light, but her flexibility and high notes carried the day."

-The Register-Guard, Marilyn Farwell, December 2012

Beth, Little Women at Utah Opera:

“Theis’ dying scene in Act II was heart wrenching and poignant without a hint of sentimentality.”

-Edward Reichel (formerly of Desert News), March 2011

“Sopranos Angela Theis and Donna Smith give musically and dramatically solid performances as Beth and Amy, respectively.”

-The Salt Lake Tribune, Catherine Reese Newton, March 2011
