“Left alone to ponder her fate, Cinderella sings a wistful aria, music that suggests an old folk song, and allows herself a moment to dream. There must be someone who can rescue her; somewhere a loving soul mate is waiting. Leonard, who has excelled at the Met as Debussy’s Mélisande and in other major roles, does it meltingly.” - Anthony Tomassini

And her take on “Sein wir wieder gut” from Strauss’s “Ariadne auf Naxos” was wrenching and resonant on multiple levels; her declaration of music as a sacred art sung with the passion of a hymn.” - Michael Andor Brodeur
