Great Singers III: Evenings of Song
Carnegie Hall, NYC
"Ms. Barton’s voice is exceptional—dark or bright, tender or powerful as she chooses—and her singing, from start to finish, displayed the kind of healthy, uncomplicated technical delivery that is equally rare in both young and seasoned artists. She has no detectable vocal quirks, mannerisms or crutches. Attacks are clean, unfussy and she can make a note bloom in any part of her range. She possesses a caliber of voice that doesn’t come along very often in the course of one’s lifetime and I, for one, hope to have the pleasure of hearing her for a long time to come."

Otello
"Having Jamie Barton perform Emilia is an example of luxury casting. When she finally does have her moment - in the final act when she reveals Iago’s subterfuge with the handkerchief - it really counts for something."

Washington, D.C.
Kennedy Center debut
"American mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton, whom “Opera News” calls “a rising star with fine acting skills and a sumptuous voice”, gave a fantastic first Kennedy Center recital on December 10. Barton's rich, powerful voice entranced the Terrace Theatre audience."
