“The respected mezzo Lucy Schaufer is magnificent as the matriarch Madeleine, a powerhouse performance from a musician of real presence (both vocally and in stage terms).

“…a tour-de-force from Lucy Schaufer.”
The Stage -May 18, 2022

“Three Decembers needs a bona fide star in the leading role, which was created for Frederica von Stade, and Opera della Luna had one in the Grammy Award-winning Lucy Schaufer, whose Maddy was a Patti LuPone goddess radiating showbiz but with a need to feed her ego with a familiar fantasy of her own concocting. Equipped with an expressive mezzo-soprano, Schaufer did passive-aggressive and poignant with equal persuasiveness. Heggie doesn’t give Maddy very sympathetic music, but Schaufer intimated an underlying self-doubt, and her angry revelation of the truth about her husband’s death made its emotional mark.”
