Vera - Incident at San Bajo (Premiere)
"Vera (Sherry Zannoth) spends most the opera shuffling about in a housecoat and red wig, with a never-lit cigarette, stunned by the events, that shattered her sleepy, little life. Zannoth's expressive soprano delivered a powerful, chilling world-weariness and hard-headed Yankee practicality." Opera News-Paul J. Pelkonen

Lady Macbeth - Macbeth
In Macbeth, Sherry Zannoth was a surprising lady. Verdi may well have wanted an ungraceful voice, but here he found an unusual one. Zannoth's technique prevailed in the difficult tessitura, and from the highest to the lowest notes, the sound was as fluid as the music allowed. There wasn't a single neglected note, or a single ungraceful tone. The high notes were as formidable as the low ones, the middle register was strong, and the phrasing was first quality. Ms. Zannoth achieved the best in her performance regally but also like a cold businesswoman. L'Opera (Milano)

"The discovery-Sherry Zannoth-as the fiendish Lady, whose devastating energy flowed through every securely placed coloratura note, penetrating in the high register, expressive in her mezzo range."Opernwelt-Jorg Loskill

"Zannoth, a soprano of steely vocal brilliance and deep and broad vocal resources, fills the dominating role of Lade Macbeth with fiery greed and bloodthirsty venom. Her aria on the glories of attaining royal status and her anguished portrayal of the killer queen's sleepwalking and bloody-hands scene drew strong 'Bravas' from the full house." Des Moines Register

"Sherry Zannoth's spellbinding technique made the fiendish role of Verdi's Lady Macbeth sound easy. From secure top to solid bottom, her unusual voice was as seamless as the music allowed, with no unpleasant sounds." Opera News-Jeffrey C. Smith

Jenny-The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny
"A magnificent voice confident, supple was that of Sherry Zannoth, who was a very moving Jenny" Le Figaro-Pierre Petit

"A graduate of the New York Met Mahagonny, Sherry Zannoth makes here her European debut as Jenny. The voice is warmly vibrant - the combination of hard and soft, of clear-eyed honesty and rueful sophistication is brilliantly caught." London Financial Times-Max Loppert
