In Review: Gartland and McIntyre in DMMO world premiere of "A Thousand Acres"

"Another singer that has thrilled DMMO audiences on many occasions, Sara Gartland has returned to deliver a stunning turn as sister Rose.

Babcock "superb" and "electrifying" in Utah Festival Opera's "Carmen" and "Man of La Mancha"

"The role of Carmen is a landmark in the world of opera, and it requires a mezzo-soprano with skill, strength, sex, and a dang good set of pipes. Without a woman like that, the show falls flat. UFO&MT’s Carmen features Audrey Babcock, as Carmen, who perfectly satisfies all the requirements for the role. Babcock is a force to be reckoned with.
