Royal Opera House at Covent Garden, London (2001)
Giacomo Puccini La Boheme

Thoroughly confident from the word go was the American soprano Catherine Naglestad's Musetta, another house debut and a striking one. She resisted the all-too-facile temptation to overplay in the Cafe Momus scene and sang with refreshing respect for the letter of score. I look forward to hearing her in a bigger role.
The Sunday Telegraph

Another powerful voice is Catherine Naglestad. Her Musetta, a vivacious, confident, and witty creation steals the show ... She makes the transition to sensitive, caring friend with ease.
Time Out

The Royal Opera House's production of La Boheme may be 26 years old, but there's not a cobweb in sight in this glitte- ring revival. ... but even they are upstaged by the comedic talents of American soprano Catherine Naglestad, whose Musetta manages to be hilariously capricious.
