“… and Kyaunnee Richardson adds the agile sweetness that makes Adina so fetching…” ~Robert Boyd, Facebook
“… Kyaunnee Richardson’s Adina is a clear standout. Looking gorgeous in exquisitely curled hair and a pink-ad-white summer dress, she backs up a stunning vocal performance with some vaudeville-style nonverbal. Her eye rolls, hair tosses, and fourth-wall-breaking glares of annoyance and disgust earn the biggest laughs…” ~ Rob Von Nordheim

“… Kyaunnee Richardson preserves Adina’s independence, allowing confidence to yield gradually to recognition… Just as impressive, Kyaunnee Richardson belongs in that company. As Adina, she matches their warmth, assurance and presence while remaining unmistakably herself…”

“…As Adina, soprano Kyaunnee Richardson is so credibly haughty and self-assured that it’s easy to see why Nemorino regards her as unattainable. She’s also just as thoroughly invested in the character’s more tender moments, though, and has the kind of fluid, flexible voice that can handle the many bel canto moments with ease…” ~Chuck Lavazzi

“… Kyaunnee Richardson, as Adina, dazzles us with a voice that is pure and agile. It climbs to the heights with silvery smoothness, yet can be beautifully warm. She’s slim and girlish, but has a strikingly large voice capable of all those bel-canto decorations. And very brightly expressive eyes…” ~ Steve Callahan

“…Sister II — the kinder, gentler (and wholly imaginary) version of the narrator — is played to perfection by Kyaunnee Richardson, a gifted singer and actor who projects innocence with such fervor that one expects to see a halo burst out of her head. A lyric soprano with an exceptionally pure voice, Richardson has an astonishing range, extending from coloratura to mezzo…”

“… A particular joy of Opera in Williamsburg’s staging of Così fan tutte was the casting of a young, vibrant Despina who both possesses and wields complete control over a fine voice… Soprano Kyaunnee Richardson ignite the performance with her fiery singing and personality… Vocally and comedically, Richardson was an typically endearing Despina who both earned her laughs and sang Mozart’s music with charm and technical flair…” ~ Joseph Newsome

"...Kyaunnee Richardson, from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida was the hands down Star of the show as the lead character of Esther..." Malcom Barnes stated in his review of Ginsberg's new operetta Esther, Sweet Esther in Washington DC.
"Everyone made an encouraging showing, and did much more than that---Kyaunnee Richardson, who offered an impressive 'O luce di quest'anima' from Linda di Chamounix and a lovely, moving 'Mira' from Bob Merrill's Carnival."

"But the night belonged to Kyaunnee Richardson...with two strong and flawless performances...Her rendition of "Glitter and Be Gay" from Candide demonstrated her incredible vocal range..."Summertime" from Porgy and Bess, showed her depth."
"Kyaunnee Richardson personified that innocent virgin princess and future queen of Persia and filled the National Press Club with a powerful presence and clear commanding voice in the starring role of Esther!"
Soprano Kyaunnee Richardson delighted us with two Rachmaninoff songs, 'Ostrovok' and 'Siren', which was filled with sweetness.
