2012 Minuetto Music Festival, Milton Cross Young Artist Competition, Rising Star Award Winner!
(January, 2013 – Denver, CO) - On the heels of the successful 2012 Recital Series with programs entitled: An Evening of Classical Treasures, Voix de la Dame and Mind of a Mezzo, mezzo-soprano, Ms. Papillion-Posey has been named one of the Minuetto Music Festival's 2012 Milton Cross Young Artists Showcase Competition, Rising Star Award Winners!
Named for the famous 'voice of the Metropolitan Opera'- Milton Cross, the Young Artist Series is designed to expose and promote outstanding young artists from around the world!
With what was a busy but productive 2012 (visit: http://epapillionposey.com/events/event/listArchive for a list of 2012 highlights), 2013 will be no exception. Ms. Papillion-Posey will make her debut with Miami Lyric Opera as the Gypsy vixen in Bizet's Carmen.
And the Carmen reviews are in:
"In the title role, the mezzo-soprano Erica Papillion-Posey captured Carmen’s slinky sexiness, radiating allure and trouble without the diva-like overacting that sometimes attends the role. She had the vocal power to sing a soft, seductive "Habanera" in a hall-filling, rounded voice, lingering over the phrases as the men in the square watched. She snapped off the Spanish-style ornaments of the "Seguidilla", and she was especially compelling in the lower register, where Carmen’s sultriness comes through, even as she’s reading her dark fate in the cards."
~David Fleshler, South Florida Classical Review
"No doubt, Erica Papillion-Posey is the best "Carmen" this city has seen in decades.
....wonderful voice....full of grace and sensuality...."
