'An Afternoon of Opera Stars in the Making' by Anthony Tommasini, May 1, 2018

"The three other winners struck me as more fully formed...Madison Leonard, 26, a soprano, brought a bright, dexterous voice and sassy charm to an aria from Humperdinck’s “Hänsel und Gretel,” and was especially at home in “Caro nome” from Verdi’s “Rigoletto.” She seems headed intrepidly into the lyric-coloratura repertory."
