Where are they Now?
Marjorie Owens gains major review at Stars of Lyric Opera Concert 9/8/07
From the Chicago Tribune: John von Rhein, Tribune Music Critic:
Young soprano shines brightest as Lyric Opera Stars come out
"The brightest star of the evening was vocally alluring young soprano Marjorie Owens, whose rock-solid technique, rich-burgundy timbre and deep musicality enabled her to deliver an impressive "Un be di," from Puccini's "Madama Butterfly"...Clearly she's destined for great things."
