“In the ‘Sempre Libera’ her voice was coolly incisive and the audience listened fascinated as the aria was driven to its climax with splendid energy.”
Karachi Dawn Friday, Pakistan
“Marilyn Monroe of the opera world.”
“Of all of the sopranos, Hallie Neill’s beautiful tone quality stands out above the rest. As Luigia, Vanzetti’s sister, the aria she sings urging him to pray is touchingly lovely.”
(Sacco and Vanzetti) Sarasota Herald Tribune
“Outstanding in a superb cast is the wonderful Hallie Neill as Luigia Vanzetti.”
“The alabaster Neill projects a poignant blend of regal self-possession and girlish yearning. Neill’s creamy soprano projects beautifully.”
(Merry Widow) New Jersey Star Ledger
“Where does this 'juicy lyric' perform the rest of the year?”
Anna in Le Villi, Gay City News
“Hallie Neill is a real find, and I hope that Paper Mill finds her another operetta vehicle very soon. Her stunningly beautiful voice is pure, free, and silvery even at its very top.”
“In the role of Hanna, the widow, Hallie Neill presented a lovely vision and a secure and appealing vocalism. Her "all stops out" rendition of the familiar Vilia was a real show stopper!”
“Particularly impressive was Miss Neill’s Rosalinda. This is an exceptional voice, and her comic portrayal was flawless.”
