The opera succeeds or fails with the casting of the "Romeo"- a trouser role for a mezzosoprano. The Kiel Opera has the fortune of having american Jennifer Arnold at ist disposal, who, on this night sang herself into hearts of the audience with brilliance and dashing bravura.

In the trouser role of Romeo, Jennifer Arnold creates, with her powerful, expressive mezzosoprano, the deciding dramatic accent
Schleswig-Holsteinische Landeszeitung |

......the first excellent entrance from Jennifer Arnold......Arnold relied not only on her vocal abilities, but also interpreted the character with economically inserted acting gestures. Her wonderful, round, velvety mezzosoprano had more than necessary high and commanded a satifying low as well. With her vocal technical abilities, Arnold made the role of Romeo fully her own. A fabulous performance!

The North American mezzo's regal presence also highlighted her gifts as an actress. The audience rewarded her with lengthy applause.

....showed off the best of the the cast: soprano (sic) Jennifer Arnold, in the role of Dido, was deeply immersed in personifying the legend's unfortunate protagonist, while maintaining the tenderness implied in the music.

Dido is sung affectingly by Jennifer Arnold who also contrives to give consistent character to this troubled Queen of Carthage....[Dido's Lament] is always a challenge to its interpreter since it has so often been heard out of context in indulgent concert renderings: Ms. Arnold dealt with the problem impressively, giving us an account of Dido's anguish that remained perfectly in proportion tothe role and its music.
