Canadian Soprano Katherine Whyte made a stunning debut in Atlanta Opera's "Orfeo ed Euridice" Nov. 14, more than holding her own in a cast that included the inimitable American countertenor, David Daniels, as Orfeo and mezzo Deanne Meek as Amore. A compelling vocal and dramatic presence, Whyte was particularly affecting in Euridice's moments of incomprehension while being led out of the underworld by her seemingly indifferent husband. —Opera Canada
