“It was also very good to be back, in person, for the Boston Conservatory’s excellent student production of Carlisle Floyd’s popular folk opera Susannah (an Appalachian version of the story from the Apocrypha of Susannah and the Elders, with a circa-1955 political, anti-McCarthy-ite twist). Susannah can’t succeed without three powerful, and (on my night), soprano Nina [Evelyn] as the slandered heroine, tenor Teddy Edgar as her protective but alcoholic brother and bass-baritone Christopher Humbert as the moralizing minister who rapes Susannah and is then overcome by guilt all seemed ready for prime time.” 
Lloyd Schwartz (WBUR Boston)

“Nina [Evelyn] (Countess Almaviva) brought a strong emotive element to the ensemble, moving the audience through the Countess’s turmoil. Her powerful voice filled the room with sweet, lyrical music.” 
Christopher Hodges (The Boston Musical Intelligencer)

“For its finale, the program turned to excerpts of Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story… tenor Anthony Rohr and soprano Nina Evelyn Anderson tore at the heartstrings in “One Hand, One Heart.”

“Opera North’s Micaëla is every bit as attractive, but in a much more innocent way. Nina Evelyn employed her light expressive soprano to try to keep her beloved from his doom.”
