The Ballad Baby Doe & L’incoronazione di Poppea, Central City Opera House Association
Opera News - October 2006 , vol 71 , no.4
IN REVIEW CENTRAL CITY, CO — The Ballad of Baby Doe (7/15/06), Don Giovanni (7/15/06), L'Incoronazione di Poppea (7/16/06).
The Ballad Baby Doe - “Sharpest etched among smaller parts were Augusta's Friends (Rebecca Jo Loeb, Jessica Tarnish, Corinna Wallace,
Desirée Wattelet).”
L’incoronazione di Poppea - “Among impressive young voices heard were soprano Wattelet (Virtu), contraltos Teresa Herold (Damigella)
and Wallace (Nutric) tenor Michael-Paul Rubitzer (Famigliaro) and bass Bryan Boyce (Littore).”
Elektra, Austin Lyric Opera
January 2005
“Letters from America” by Maria Nockin, Opera Japonica/Japan Opera Information/Archives, International News
“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.”

Concert Review: Artistic choices dim radiance of 'Elektra' by Mike Greenberg, Senior Critic, Express-News
“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.”
The Telephone - The Sarah and Ernest Butler Opera Center
February 27, 2003
“The Long and the Short of it” by Michael Barnes, Austin American Statesman
“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.”
