“The two standouts, as one would hope, aided and abetted by Rossini’s masterful music, were the two leads, Prince Ramiro (Lorenzo Shawn Parnell, the only tenor on stage) and Cinderella (Mariami Bekauri) with an equally powerful and very listenable voice.”

-- Buffalo Rising, Peter Hall

"Maria, played by Mariami Bekauri, was a delight."

-- The Brown Daily Herald, Zach Bu

"The warm and stylistic vocal tones by mezzo-soprano Bekauri were evident in the selection, “The Christmas Song.” Her dark features and pleasant smile were a significant asset to her velvet and satin crimson gown and humble presentation."

-- The Post-Journal, Tod Pullan

"Mélusine’s two sisters, soprano Sharon Key and alto Mariami Bekauri, sang handsomely."

-- The Boston Musical Intelligencer, Gigi Mitchell-Velasco
