“Understudy Cara McLeod, whose bio didn’t appear in the program, replaced Miriam Khalil as the vindictive, but still malleable Donna Elvira, and her performance was both theatrically and musically effective.”
“Cara McLeod’s portrayal of the spurned Donna Elvira...stopped short of becoming unsympathetic...audiences will certainly hear more from her in the near future”
“A special word must go to Edmonton soprano Cara McLeod as Donna Elvira. She stepped in as an understudy during rehearsals...she pulled it off with a convincing character portrayal, vocally and theatrically”
