She is a wonderful and thoughtful interpreter and uses her instrument completely in the service of the music. In addition, she is exceptionally diligent and is a warm colleague. It is my pleasure to recommend her highly.
Paul Nadler - Conductor
To whom it may concern,
I am writing on behalf of Ms. Priscilla Gale. Ms. Gale recently completed a run of four performances as Violetta in Verdi's "La Traviata" with the Salisbury Lyric Opera Company which is based in Worcester, Massachusetts.
I had the pleasure of working with Priscilla in the capacity of Stage Director. Ms. Gale is a consummate musician possessing a soprano voice of medium weight. Her vocal technique was flawless throughout the strenuous rehearsal schedule and four performances. She's an intelligent singer and sensitive to the nuances written by the composer. Her vocal performance ranged from exquisite pianissimo singing to the more dramatic coloratura passages needed for this role. Her voice never failed to carry through the 60 piece orchestra. Since the performances took place in four different halls, Priscilla showed her professionalism by adjusting to totally different acoustics. She never forced her instrument beyond the point of beautiful singing.
As an actress, Ms. Gale possesses a great understanding of the character Violetta. Having performed the role several times in the past, Ms. Gale never objected to the direction I gave her in rehearsals. Her fearless attitude allowed for some very dramatic moments, never overshadowing the more sensitive side of the character.
Ms. Gale worked well with her colleagues and the members of our staff. She was always respectful and courteous as well as open to any suggestions. In short, she made the entire production a pleasure.
It is with great enthusiasm that I highly recommend Ms. Gale.
Josef F. Konkol - General Manager
It is a great pleasure to recommend to your attention the wonderful soprano Priscilla Gale. I have had the fortunate opportunity to work with her twice: the first time a few years ago as soloist with symphony orchestra in Villa-Lobos' "Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5" and last season in the title role of "La Traviata."
Ms. Gale is a delight from every point of view. She possesses a vibrant, colorful voice of ample size which she controls with precision and a wide range of expression and dynamic intensity. She is a consummate musician who is always fully prepared for rehearsal and performance and would be a real musical colleague for any conductor. And she boasts a lovely appearance and persona on stage which projects strong character without a trace of over-acting. Our audiences have responded to her artistry with high enthusiasm and deep emotion.
I sincerely hope the Ms. Gale will have many splendid opportunities to share her gifts and that you will assist her in any way that you can with this endeavor. Thank you.
Mark Churchill - Music Director, Salisbury Lyric Opera and Symphony Pro Musica and Associate Conductor, Boston Ballet
