“It does not feel like I am playing Maria... It feels like I am playing ‘The Sound of Music.’ It feels like this huge entity. It is so important to so many people and feels so much larger than me.”

"dazzling voice"
"Bryan’s stand and sing rendition of “Il vecchiotto cerca moglie,” lit up the stage, her Berta here as electric as a Zerbinetta. "

THE BARBER OF SEVILLE
2022
"The role of Berta only provides one aria with which to showcase singing skills, but Cadie J. Bryan captivates the audience in “Il vecciotto cerca moglie” with a dazzling voice."
Miho Uchida | PLAYS TO SEE
"In a refreshing bit of casting, the role of Berta was reimagined as a young sexy maid, allowing soprano Cadie J. Bryan to steal a bit of the scene in her various comings and goings. She also surprised the ear by offering her fresh, pleasing soprano to Berta’s often ignored aria di sorbetto."

PLATÉE

Cadie J. Bryan was charming in the role of Platée’s long suffering maidservant. Her sunny soprano voice was well suited to Rameau’s music, and her brief solo was luminous and sweet.

SMOOTH LEGATO
MONORCHID GALLERY RECITAL — 2019
Soprano Cadie Jordan, a second-year Studio member, opened the program with "Sleep why dost thou leave me" from Handel's 1744 opera, Semele. She began with a significant messa di voce on the first note and continued with a smooth legato and a well placed trill... and showed both the beauty of her even range and her technical ability.
Maria Nockin | BROADWAY WORLD
"Whether in solo or ensemble, the three [woodsprites] offered limpid, pliable, steady singing of the highest order."

CHARLIE PARKER'S YARDBIRD — 2018
