Gasparina in “La Canterina” by Haydn
“…soprano Jane Burnell, who delivers a star turn in the role of Gasparina, replete with sparky, heartless brilliance,”
The Stage
Gasparina in “La Canterina” by Haydn
“Jane Burnell’s performance as Gasparina is as sparkling as her diamond necklace glinting in Rachel E Cleary’s stage lighting. She flounces and flirts and attitudinises, faints on cue quite convincingly, and handles the frequent vocal changes from aside to high drama to conversation to heart-rending pleading with consummate ease.” The Opera Critic
Gasparina in “La Canterina” by Haydn
“Jane Burnell is the singer, Gasparina…and shows she’s got a comedic gift as well as a lovely voice.”

National World
Gasparina in “La Canterina” by Haydn
“Jane Burnell is a feisty Gasparina, milking her parody tragic aria as she wheedles Don Pelagio into letting her stay.”
