In Review - Cavalleria Rusticana at Lyric Opera of Kansas City
As Lola "Christine Boddicker was suitably coquettish in manner and in voice, flouncing about town with her sycophantic ladies, except when things get dark and messy because of the very mess she has created."
- Hilary Stroh (Bachtrack)
In Review - L'incoronazione di Poppea at Miami Music Festival
"Christine Boddicker was a statuesque Nero, a monarch in bearing and voice. Her powerful, multi-colored mezzo yet had the dexterity to throw off trills and roulades with ease and elan. Boddicker’s declamation was bold and strongly present but her singing was never forced. "
~ Lawerence Budmen (South Florida Classical Review)
