A "standout" soprano with "resplendent vocal tone, technical prowess, all arching phrases, and melting lyricism".

Add this to her talent as an actress and you have a rare talent. She acts as she sings, with her whole being – body and soul – and is able to express an emotion with the raising of a single eyebrow or the movement of a finger.

Erina Newkirk holds the audiences attention every moment. Her expressive face moves convincingly from flirtation to derision to horror, while her soaring soprano makes her listeners feel what her character feels.
