Carmen, Carmen

Center Stage Opera

 

"Carmen is a sexy gypsy woman played gorgeously by Kim Shahbazian, who captures love and the enticing sense of freedom and seduction in her stunning portrayal. Her voice is true and clear, and emanates the complexity of her character."

The Marriage of Figaro, Cherubino

Lancaster Opera Company

 

“Kim Simmons (Shahbazian) carries off the role of Cherubino, page to the countess, with a flair – and a delightful singing voice.  It is not easy for a female to play a male role, but she does it very well”

Madame Butterfly, Suzuki

Lancaster Opera Company

 

“…as Suzuki, Butterfly’s devoted maid, Kim Simmons (Shahbazian) displays a lovely singing voice and vibrant energy. She knows that there will be no happy ending in her mistress’s longing for Pinkerton.  She knows that when Butterfly first unpacks the knife that her father used to commit suicide, that knife will be a deadly weapon once more.”
