right moments."

Madama
Butterfly
"(one
of the) standout performers of the evening, surprisingly, were not
the leading characters, but rather mezzo-soprano Janice
Edwards who ruled the stage when she finally came into
her own by the second and then third acts." —

"Janice
Edwards, Cio-Cio-San's loyal maid, gave a masterful performance."
— Portsmouth Herald
"Janice
Edwards made an excellent complement to [Theresa] Cincione's
Butterfly. Their voices blended superbly; when singing together,
the result was a rich dark mocha combination to which each contributed
equally. On her own, Edwards was convincing in all aspects
of the role, never overplaying her hand but always in the zone,
both musically and dramatically "

"Mezzo-soprano Janice
Edwards as Marcellina... gave us a fine performance... and maintained
good voice throughout and contributed a fair amount of talent, helping
make this strong ensemble effort so successful.”

“Of the many musical high points, a few stand out... mezzo-soprano

the audience wanting more.”
