GLIMMERGLASS FESTIVAL

“Friday’s Così evinced some fine singing… The show’s real star is Camille Zamora as a spunky Despina, her soprano a fine focus of heat and light.”
– Dallas Morning News

“This splendid production makes sense where many do not… Sanford Sylvan is an Alfonso of exquisite refinement… He finds an equally wry accomplice in Camille Zamora as the maid-of-some-work.”
– The Financial Times

“Camille Zamora plays the comic maid Despina with zest and true, firm tone and artful technique.”
– The Record

“…the maid Despina, deliciously played by soprano Camille Zamora…”
– The Daily Dispatch

“Soprano Camille Zamora sang a fine account of a somewhat hard-edged Despina, the sisters’ teen-age maid. Both her first and second act aria were very well performed, especially “Una donna a quindici anni” in which she amusingly imparted the experience of her youth to her naïve elders. And in both disguises, first as a quack doctor summoned to revive the poisoned men with magnets, then as a notary called to “wed” the re-matched couples in mongrel Latin, she was entirely credible in both appearance and manner.”
– The Ithaca Times

“An exquisitely controlled and exuberant production… Zamora sang well and showed good versatility and a nice comic flair with her acting, which included playing the parts of a doctor and a lawyer – part of the plot’s deception.”
– The Daily Gazette

“The point at which the production becomes fun comes with the arrival of Despina in the saucy person of Camille Zamora.”
– The Syracuse Post Standard

“As the couple in charge, Camille Zamora’s bossy Despina stood up to every assignment from Sanford Sylvan… As an ensemble, this sextet walked the tightrope over the gap between passion and reason, which is why Così qualifies as a comedy of manners.”
