The Ballad Baby Doe - Central City Opera House Association
“Sharpest etched among smaller parts were Augusta's Friends (Rebecca Jo Loeb, Jessica Tanish, Corinna Wallace, Desiree
Wattelet).” ---Opera News – October 2006
L’incoronazione di Poppea - Central City Opera House Association
“Among impressive young voices heard were soprano Wattelet (Virtu), contraltos Teresa Herold (Damigella) and Wallace (Nutrice), tenor
Michael-Paul Rubitzer (Famigliaro) and bass Bryan Boyce (Littore).” ---Opera News – October 2006
Elektra - Austin Lyric Opera
“Of the maids who appear at the beginning of the opera, soprano Desirée Wattelet and mezzo Cindy Sadler were the most outstanding,
Wattelet because of her soaring, lustrous sound and Sadler because of her honeyed low notes.”
---Maria Nockin, Opera Japonica - January 2005
“All the smaller roles were handsomely sung, with special notice going to the lustrous Fifth Maidservant of soprano Desiree Wattelet. That role
is often a showcase for future stars, and Wattelet seems headed in that direction.” ---Mike Greenberg, Express News – January 2005
The Telephone - The Sarah and Ernest Butler Opera Center
“UT Opera Theatre offers the double bill with Menotti’s perfectly adequate arrangements for two pit pianos. Sunday, the comic curtain-
raiser about telephone calls coming between two lovers was distinguished by Desiree Wattelet’s fluttery soprano and extravagantly pretty
looks, matched with Stephen Ruduski’s embellished frustration.”
---Michael Barnes, Austin American Statesman - February 2003
