Thoughts, from Lori Laitman’s Ocean of Eternity, with Tarn Travers, violin and Tze-Wen


Julia Lin, piano Acis Records, 2022

“Mezzo-soprano Katie Hannigan sings these songs with disarming honesty and warmth, and violinist Tarn Travers is an unfailingly
sensitive partner. Tze-Wen (Julia) Lin plays beautifully at the piano.”

Journal of Singing Nov/Dec 2022

Fanfare notes, “Hannigan is a fine mezzo, her voice soars beautifully. The final climactic cry “Hold Me!” is well into the soprano register; the effect is powerful indeed”.

Katie Hannigan Reviews

Zerlina, the lovely young maid, is played by Katie Hannigan, whose honeyed mezzo-soprano and open naivete make her the perfect foil for the shenanigans of her soon-to-be bridegroom, Masetto.

– Syracuse Opera, 2019

The roles of Bianca and Lucia, sung by Katie Hannigan and Alisa Jordheim respectively, provided one of the evenings highlights in their flower duet.

– Opera News

The American composer John Duke’s art song “I Carry Your Heart” performed with a rich sound and fine diction by mezzo-soprano Katie Hannigan.

– New York Concert Review INC

The first act trio (from the Rape of Lucretia ) with golden-voiced mezzo-soprano as the old nurse Bianca.
