From an attendee:
When your husband [Marc] started singing, [my husband] leaned over to me and said, ‘Whoah. He has the voice of seven thunders!’ And then when you [Jacquelyn] came out and sang, he said ‘And so does she…I can see why they got married!’

“Heritage Theatre’s A GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE is a fun farce” - 2023
In the role of Monty Navarro, Kennedy’s singing was clear and pleasant to listen to and paired well with both Faribourn and Abbott, who both had lovely musically operatic voices that matched the musical style of the show. Fairbourn played Sibella in an amusing way, and her comedic timing in the song “I Don’t Know What I’ll Do” was delightful. [Fairbourn] was also a good contrast to Abbott and her dignified grace in the song “Inside Out,” where she held character so well considering all the comedy going on around her. Of course, one of the best parts of the evening is the song “I’ve Decided to Marry You,” where these three characters were all able to show their skills and timing together.

“Miami Music Festival scores with chamber operas by Purcell and Menotti” - 2018
Purcell’s Dido and Aneas:
In an opera that can seem dramatically stilted to modern audiences, director Jacquelyn Mouritsen’s staging was pitch perfect. From the stylized choreographic gestures for the Sorceress’s retinue to the final scene as Belinda and the court mourn over the lifeless body of the queen, Mouritsen created a series of striking stage images.
Menotti’s The Medium:
Mouritsen staged Menotti’s shocker though the moody lens of a film noir, keeping the drama moving at tight pace.

“Queen City Opera out-Cinderellas Cinderella” - 2017
[Actor Simon] Barrad plays [Dandini] almost as a Ferris Bueller or Zak Morris type, complete with freeze-frame moments when he addresses the audience directly (and here acknowledgement is due, no doubt, to stage director Jacquelyn Mouritsen).
