PRESS HIGHLIGHTS

ELYSE KAKACEK

"the standout performer."

Norina, Don Pasquale

Windy City Opera

​

“A truly excellent cast of four singers was employed...  Highly sarcastic, occasionally snarky, there was genuine humor in this opera. The music combined pop elements with contemporary classical techniques. The standout performer among the quartet was soprano Elyse Kakacek as Patty Mars, the writer/entrepeneur... The story, about a tollbooth worker (Maroney) who encounters a desperate, penniliess driver who is a battered woman (Kakacek), seemed compelling. I give both women high ratings for their lyrical singing.”
