Times Colonist: “Leslie Ann Bradley is a fine Desdemona”

The reviews are coming for Pacific Opera Victoria’s Otello. Leslie Ann Bradley made her role debut as Desdemona in this show. There are four performances left! Click here to learn more.

Soprano Leslie Ann Bradley is a fine Desdemona. Her rendition of the familiar Willow Song was lovely, perhaps even the night’s high point, with Bradley revealing a lush, sweet timbre. Yet her Desdemona is no pushover. When Otello accuses of her being a prostitute, she passionately rejects his denunciation. Here, Bradley’s voice took on a thrilling huskiness.”
