Critical Acclaim
“Ms. Brinkley possesses a sheer power and agility that is rare to be found.”
“I would classify her as the ideal bel canto soprano with a great affinity for Bellini and Donizetti, yet the passion she brings to verismo repertoire is also impressive. The elegance of her singing serves the Mozart repertoire extremely well — she can even do full justice to the lighter Wagnerian roles.”
“Marlena has been blessed with a soprano voice that defies standard classification. She is a soprano with a remarkable range (Queen of the Night), crisp Händelian fioratura, bel canto style coloratura (Lucia), and a large, beautiful sound with a shimmer. She is a fine singing actress as well as musician.”
“Marlena's voice is large, lovely, and agile. Her coloratura is impressive and her high notes are stunning, with full dynamic control. She spins a long line and brings a lustrous sheen to the slower melodic arias...”
