"Which brings us to Micaela, Kimberly Lloyd. She sang with power and subtlety, control and expressiveness. Her eyes and face shone with the character's loving innocence in Act I and returned in Act III with grace and strength to witness the wreckage that had been the man she loved. Ms. Lloyd would be right at home among any cast on any stage, holding her own with ease and grace. We hope to see her here again but would also love to see her at the Met or any other prestigious house."
~Christine Chase (April 2019)
"Kimberly Lloyd was an Aida to remember. Her “Ritorna vincitor” revealed a beautiful soprano with reserve and staying power. Her confrontational scenes with Amneris always evoked sympathy and her singing of “O patria mia!” was exemplary. Her acting and powerhouse singing with her father Amonasro was indelible. Her upper reaches were seemingly unstoppable, her closing dramatic utterances remarkable and her floating notes ethereal. Ms. Lloyd’s singing in the final act was heartfelt and her blending with Radames in “O terra, addio” was purity itself. An outstanding performance."
~Nino Pantano (November 2018)
Kimberly Lloyd lent the title role (Aida) a dusky soprano and an easy high C, her “Ritorna Vincitor” marked by urgency, her “O Patria Mia” lush and haunting, and surprised us with a ringing high E-flat to cap the second act.
