Find out what the critics are saying about Allyson’s Juno/Ino

“…mezzo Allyson McHardy is all creamy, dark magic as Jupiter’s jealous wife, Juno (and Ino, Semele’s sister).” (Toronto Star, 10 May 2012)

“…mezzo-soprano Allyson McHardy[‘s] gutsy singing took full measure of the goddess’s wrath.” (Globe and Mail, 10 May 2012)

“With her powerful, dark mezzo-soprano, Allyson McHardy clearly distinguished her two roles of the rash, girlish Ino from the imperious Juno, wife of Jupiter, who plots a gruesome but appropriate revenge on the hapless Semele. She sang her rage aria Hence, Iris, hence away to tremendous effect.” (Stage Door, 10 May 2012)

“McHardy defines her imperious Juno and offended Ino, both driven by jealousy, with believable emotion and theatrical detail.” (Now Magazine, 17 May 2012)

“In the dual role of Ino/Juno, Allyson McHardy sings with conviction with creamy low notes and plenty of vigour.” (Charlebois Post, 10 May 2012)
