Emily Michiko Jensen
Soprano
Jensen’s sweet soprano was surprisingly versatile, sweeping over us with her more reflective lower register and reaching powerful heights in her clear and crisp upper register. Jensen’s command over her vocal presence, mixed with her evolving character as a young girl to a neglected pregnant woman, created a palpable and heartrending performance.
