Reviews for Maine Grand Opera´s Die Fledermaus:

Although the entire company was warmly applauded at the end, the audience favorites were (rightly) Devin Dukes as the flirtatious maid Adele, and Thomas Mark Fallon´s amazing counter tenor performance as Orlofsky - Alicia Anstead /Bangor Daily News

Devin Dukes, as the aspiring housemaid gave a strong, consistent performance in good voice throughout and had a strong stage presence both as a bouncy maid and, in disguise, as a lady of the upper class. She is a talented actress and fine singer and clearly has the stage presence, voice, youth and energy to do more. - Paul Joseph Walkowski /OperaOnline.us



Devin has performed a number of principal roles with companies on both coasts of the United States.  With West Bay Opera in Palo Alto, CA, she sang the part of Alice in Le Comte Ory in 1993, and Annina in La Traviata in 1994.
