“Ms. Petrik’s  spectacular, rich voice filled the auditorium with sweet sounds, matched by her genuine facial expressions and infectious acting. The ultimate entertainer, she was equally convincing as the suffering Lisa, the endearing Snow Maiden, the fierce Ukrainian village girl or the passionate gypsy songstress. Her dazzling soprano soared through the romantic writing, as her tone radiated ripeness and beauty. She wore traditional native costumes to lend authenticity to the selections.”
