Madame Butterfly, 2008
"Mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton was a sensitive, supportive Suzuki who made every glance and gesture meaningful. Her voice is a gorgeous, mellow instrument. She and [Kelly] Kaduce blended perfectly in the Flower Duet."
- STLToday.com
"Both vocally and dramatically, Jamie Barton is an appealing Suzuki."
- The Dallas Morning News
"Mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton delivers another powerful performance as Cio-Cio-san’s loyal servant..."
- The Ladue News |

Opera Theatre of Saint Louis
La Traviata, 2007
“Gerdine Young Artists provided a richly varied ensemble of sharply drawn characters… rich-voiced Jamie Barton was the dutiful, no-nonsense Annina.”
- Opera News |

Tanglewood Music Center
2007
“Mezzo-soprano and [Tanglewood Music Center] fellow Jamie Barton gave an impressive performance of Olly Wilson’s 1976 Sometimes, for voice and tape, a haunting piece based on the spiritual “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child.”
- ArtsBeat
“[Olly] Wilson’s work, a wide-ranging set of variations, expansions and fragmentations within a texture of swirling recorded voices and electronic sounds, was sung with gospel-powered fervor by Jamie Barton, a mezzo-soprano.”
- New York Times |
