Cavalleria Rusticana:
"Janette M. Lallier delivered a mighty performance as the scorned Santuzza that won thunderous applause for its sheer intensity. . . (a) truly noteworthy performance deserving of the accolades received." -- OperaOnline.us: February 5, 2006
"Janette M. Lallier, a dramatic soprano with a glorious voice, yesterday turned in an impressive performance as Santuzza, the wronged village girl in Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana." --- Providence Journal: February 3, 2006
Hansel and Gretel:
"... Janette Lallier was solid-voiced and believable as Hansel and Gretel's distraught mother Gertrude, unduly harsh with her children when she finds she has no food to feed them." --- Cape Cod Times, November 26, 2006
"... the biggest, most impressive voice on the stage belonged to Janette Lallier as the cranky mother. When she makes her first entrance and scolds Hansel and Gretel for playing instead of doing their chores, you know she means business." --- Providence Journal: November 19, 2005
