The top to her voice is pretty and agile and she threw herself into the cabalettas quite fearlessly. A bright future beckons.

They were lucky to have Katherine Blumenthal in the main role of Giselda... Already in Act I her voice showed a fine characterisation of her feelings, and as the opera revolves around her it was a huge pleasure to see such a wonderful vocal portrayal of the role.

Katherine Blumenthal nailed the Queen of the Night's high F's

Katherine Blumenthal had a whale of time with Musetta in Act 2, while tugging at our hearts later on

Katherine Blumenthal was a flirtatious firebrand of a Musetta.
-Mike Allen, Portsmouth News (Review of La Bohème) Katherine Blumenthal was peerlessly moving as Micaela. - Mike Allen, The News (Review of Carmen) |
Musetta (Katherine Blumenthal) broke the tension in Act 2 with her coquettish and sexy vivacity. Slowly removing each finger of her glove with her teeth was canny choreography.
While Musetta is inciting Marcello's jealousy by flaunting her relationship with doting old Alcindoro she breaks into her scurrilous waltz-song Quando Men'vo Soletta in a lively taunting soprano voice. - Jill Bacon, This is Gloucestershire (Review of La Bohème) |

The vocal talents were not just carried off by the protagonists (although Cephise undoubtedly stole the show).
- Zehrah Heesan, The Buzz (Review of Acante et Céphise) |
Lawrence Olsworth-Peter ballsed it out manfully in the stratospheric role of Acante, with Katherine Blumenthal as a nice girlish Céphise. This was a brave, sometimes nerve-racking, but triumphant celebration of the imporant things in life.

Lawrence Olsworth-Peter as Acante, Katherine Blumenthal as Céphise, and Kevin Greenlaw as Oroès all showed fine stage presence.... Ms. Blumenthal sang beautifully.
-Mark Ronan Theatre Review (review of Acante et Céphise) |
This journey is supported by fabulous singing from Katherine Blumenthal, Lawrence Olsworth-Peter and Anna-Louise Costello.

Katherine Blumenthal’s Céphise was impressive; she was one of two performing onstage with a more than a modicum of style. Kevin Greenlaw sang with a shimmeringbaritone as Oroés... and realized exceptional chemistry with Blumenthal. - Micheal Migliore, MusicalCriticism.com (review of Acante et Céphise)

Soprano Katherine Blumenthal joined the orchestra for a happy account of the pastoral mannerisms of Haydn’s Welche Labung Fur Die Sinne! Blumenthal’s other solo was a luxuriantly sung paean to love, the “Air” from the Spring section of Joseph Bodin de Boismortier’s The Four Seasons.

When I conceived of this work, I knew very quickly that Katherine was
the ideal vocalist to develop this role. She has a stunning ability as
a vocalist to connect to a real depth of meaning in interpreting
poetry. She also has great vocal technique and versatility. She is a
coloratura soprano with a highly developed agility and upper register,
but can also produce warmth and a rich palette of sounds in the low
register. She is also very bright (an Emory alumnus) and learns very
quickly. Her light, versatile voice and her youthful beauty were a
perfect match for the voice I imagined of Ophelia.
