“Amanda Woodbury is a hardened Lucia with a sweet, full, radiant voice… Donizetti’s coloratura…all flows from her as if without effort. She sings her mad scene, replete with the otherworldly glass harmonica rather than the more usual flute, in what appears to be a narcotic fog rather than madness. She offers an arresting cadenza...”
— Ark Swed, Los Angeles Times

“Soprano Amanda Woodbury is in full bloom as Lucia, singing with lustrous tone, turning her trills beautifully, and hitting the treacherous high notes on the button. In the famous, lengthy Act 3 mad scene, her interpretation wasn’t so much that of an insane creature as it was of a woman who had had enough of being put upon in this town.”
— Richard S. Ginell, Classical Voice
