Caitlin Gotimer as Alcina. As the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette describes, "Alcina was enchanting as she moved from all-powerful witch to jilted lover, achieving a pitiable sense of wretchedness in her later arias with a fraught, excitable tone."
Caitlin Gotimer in Glory Denied. The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette called her "striking as Older Alyce, angry and unsympathetic yet also soft and despairing."
Caitlin Gotimer performs in the role of Princess Elettra in afterWARds - Mozart's Idomeneo Reimagined. Pittsburgh in the Round said, "she delivered her music powerfully and skillfully, and carried away the evening’s top vocal honors."
