Her snarling and highly colored voice was simply perfect for this role. … The insidious cackle she produced even scared me!” ConcertoNet.com, January 21, 2008 Joseph McLellan wrote in the Washington Post of the Opera Bel Canto’s recent performance of Rossini’s Petit Messe Solennelle: "…the 'Agnus Dei,' powerfully performed by the ensemble, with an eloquent solo by contralto Susan Sevier.” Washington Post, Friday, March 26, 2004 “Stadler plays him with the requisite sleaziness, and with his wife (Susan Sevier, in an excellent performance) make up an imposing, scheming couple attempting to arrest their daughter’s intended.” Baltimore City Paper, March 31, 2004, of the Theatre Project performances of the Brecht/Weill Threepenny Opera
