“Jamie Bonetto as Violetta has a radiant soprano, full of confidence and strength without borders and she can deliver a real trill.” 
--Pacifica Tribune ‘07--

“The works greatest distinction was the sweet voice of Jamie Bonetto”
--San Diego Union--

“The standing ovation was well deserved.  Bonetto’s voice was excellent and even in quality” 
--Star  News San Diego--

“As Lucia, Jamie Bonetto sailed with tonal purity and exhilarating grace through stratospheric layers of vocal pyrotechnics.  She was sculpted, she was liquid, she melted and she weaved. Her dramatic truth and confidence in this role gave us nothing overwrought.  More so,  Bonetto’s Lucia was a fragile, lost soul quite simply clutching with empty hands at what should have been.” 
--Pacifica Tribune--

“Bonetto was able to craft dazzling, liquid notes and hang them high on the back rafters and pull them back for an extra caress.” 
--Ink Notes - Jean Bartlett--
