Zerbinetta: Ariadne auf Naxos / Jette Parker Young Artists Summer Performance 2018

The Stage
Gilda: Rigoletto Act 1 / Jette Parker Young Artists Summer Performance 2019
“…with Haegee Lee taking the vocal honours in an impeccably sung ‘Caro nome’.”
Classical Source
“An excerpt from Act 1 of Verdi’s Rigoletto was considerably elevated by South Korean soprano Haegee Lee’s terrific rendition of Gilda’s ‘Caro Nome.’ This was a measured and confidently crafted performance which communicated character and feeling most impressively.”
Opera Today
“Soprano Haegee Lee briefly stopped the show with her vocal fireworks in Verdi’s Rigoletto.”
The Prickle
Gilda: Rigoletto / Welsh National Opera
“…we were treated to a wonderfully mature performance from a sweet and perfectly tempered soprano voice that enchanted. Lee has tremendous control and clarity in her voice which perfectly suited the church-going coming-of-age character, with all her tragic vulnerability. Lee’s acting and stage presence were equally strong, and I enjoyed her performance immensely.”
Bachtrack
“Lee herself is mesmerising. With a powerful, crystal-clear soprano voice, she was the epitome of a young girl in love. She evoked every emotion with precision and shone on stage.”
Behind The Arras
“…a young singer with a wonderful and precise vocal technique and sparkling top notes…”
British Theatre Guide
“…it was Korean born Haegee Lee as Gilda whose voice stole the show. A wonderful, vibrant sound with hints of melancholy and fragility suiting the part with precision and accuracy.”
North West End
“Haegee Lee has such a purity of tone and accuracy of intonation and ornament that one would never for a moment doubt Gilda’s sincerity.”
Opera Today
“…for me, the standout singing and acting of the evening came from Haegee Lee as Gilda.”
Plays To See
“Haegee Lee, a Jette Parker graduate, sang with an appealing light soprano, looked perfect for the part and acted well.”
