"Soprano Elena Heimur has an expansive sound and the requisite dramatic intensity to get her arias across. Glamorously gowned, she took possession of the stage with commitment to the material and communicated the passion to the audience. Another favorite selection included Ms. Heimur's love duet with Mr. Cromer, 'Soli del Mondo Immemori' from Fosca, in which the pair achieved perfect balance and harmony of voices."
"Soprano Elena Heimur showed her versatility in three very different roles."
Meche Kroop, www.vocedimeche.reviews ~ The Metropolitan Room, New York, NY
"Sous le dome épais" (The Flower Song) from Leo Delibes' Lakme. Soprano Elena Heimur and mezzo Jodi Karem had lovely chemistry together (eye contact!) and balanced their voices perfectly in Delibes' winning harmonies.
Ms. Heimur's generous soprano filled up "Chi il bel sogno di Doretta" from Puccini's La Rondine and did so in a most moving manner.
The second scene of Puccini's La Bohème involves Musetta making a big show of herself in "Quando m'en vo" while the other Bohemians are sitting at a table. The scene was well staged and superbly sung by Ms. Heimur who let out all the stops.

"Elena Heimur is a very talented young artist both vocally and dramatically. She possesses a voice of natural beauty with marvelous range of tessitura and color. She is quite musical and obviously understands and communicates the meaning of the text in every language she sings. Elena is dedicated to perfecting her craft and is intelligent and conscientious in her efforts to do so."
