“Yankovskaya led the evening’s most emotionally gripping performance, lovingly textured, with mezzo Heather Johnson singing Mrs. De Rocher’s pleading “I am a mother,” from Jake Heggie’s Dead Man Walking.”

–Scott Cantrell, Dallas Morning News


“Lidiya Yankovskaya, also an American, was right with mezzo Heather Johnson in “I am a mother” from Jake Heggie’s Dead Man Walking. The two delivered gripping performances.”
