“the acrobatic demands placed on the narrator-singer-actor required superhuman agility, stamina and diction from amplified soprano Hila Plitmann, who delivered brilliantly. She sang Del Tredici’s luscious arias with soaring affection and shuffled personas like a demon to play Alice, the King and Queen of Hearts, the White Rabbit and the Gryphon.

But the most astonishing performance of a Broadway angel, if she ever gets to sing it on Broadway, will be Hila Plitmann Exstasis, the lead angel in Eric Whitacre’s “Paradise Lost: Shadows and Wings” … A familiar soprano at Disney, she premiered Esa-Pekka Salonen’s “Wing on Wing” in 2004 and was a riot in the premiere of Gerald Barry’s opera “The Importance of Being Earnest” with the Los Angeles Philharmonic last spring … As Exstasis, Plitmann not only knocks out Broadway-style tunes with aplomb but she embellishes them with exceptionally flights of coloratura fancy.
