Heather Gallagher, mezzo-soprano

"Heather Gallagher as Despina was the standout in the cast...Her seasoning showed in her comedic flair and confidence; Gallagher tossed off her two arias with panache and proved quite hilarious in Despina's masquerades."

     -Lawrence A. Johnson, The Miami Herald Review of Cosi fan tutte


"Gallagher has a very sure and well placed voice and knew how to profit from her talents in these exquisite and difficult works.  The support of the accompanists was impeccable and the excellent result drew forth enthusiastic applause from the audience."

  -Daniel Fernandez, El Nuevo Herald Review of Zwei Gesänge
