Reviews
“Michelle Serrano Moeritz sang Dido with a regal grace”- The New York Times (2007)
“Desdemona, gorgeously sung by Michelle Serrano Moeritz, is very reminiscent of Mirella Freni in looks and vocal quality. Her clear, excellent voice projected well and her touching portrayal of heartbreak brought the house down in the Fourth Act. Watch out for this singer!” - The Brooklyn Spectator (2006)
“…but who really surprised us was Michelle Serrano Moeritz. Her Desdemona knocked our socks off!”
- The Brooklyn Papers (2006)
“Michelle Serrano Moeritz was a fetchingly imperious beauty as Donna Elvira and had some delicious comedic moments.”- Opera News (2003)
