Susan Gundunas -- Soprano
A reviewer responding to Susan Gundunas's performance of 'Vilia' in The Merry Widow likened her voice to 'an angel transporting souls to catch a glimpse of heaven.' Another critic watching her Marie in Daughter of the Regiment called her 'dramatic skills... stunning.' A reviewer of her recent turn in the world premiere of Nosferatu took the measure of all her gifts, writing that Susan revealed 'both heart and soul, displaying a gorgeous range, perfect pitch, and expressive stage presence.' Audiences across the US and in Europe have been raving about Susan's unique combination of vocal brilliance and dramatic craft since she learned the role of Mimi in La Bohème during a hectic two-week crash course and debuted on the mainstage of Opera San Jose.
