AMANDA CRIDER

F E A T U R E D   R E V I E W S

“’He was despised and rejected,’ sang mezzo-soprano Amanda Crider. Her crisp diction made the torments of the crucifixion seem real, with unforgettable delivery of the “shame and spitting” that Jesus endured in the Passion. But, like the other soloists, she sang Handel’s lyrical melodies as though they were written to delight as well as instruct his theatrical audience—and, in her renditions, with melodic line and tasteful ornamentation, they did.”
Nicholas Jones, Cleveland Classical

“Amanda Crider as Flora Bervoix, Violetta's friend, brings a few moments of levity, and she does it beautifully.  Her mezzo-soprano voice begs for her to be in a larger role, it's that wonderful.”

“Amanda Crider, a meticulous mezzo-soprano, was delightful as Clarina, her coquettish facial expressions on par with the best of comediennes.”
