"Sandidge comes to the table loaded with technical ability, handling the birdlike patter in her opening aria with aplomb. She took on Violetta’s vivaciousness and empathy, particularly in a lengthy duet with Giorgio...His fullness in the duet coupled with her precision marked a turning point in the show, the first moment when the singing approached the kind of opera that keeps us coming back for more." |

"The surprise of the evening was soprano Jessica Sandidge’s Micaëla, who delivered a floating, sensitively phrased “Je dis que rien ne m’épouvante” that elicited the show’s first bravos from the audience. Encountering her also reminded me why these delicate moments are so vital to Bizet’s original score: they give us a chance to breathe between set pieces, and help us appreciate the dark emotional places the story goes." Je dis que rien (Carmen) with Heartbeat Opera

"Soprano Jessica Sandidge was an equally three-dimensional presence, marshaling a gorgeous tone and an exquisitely controlled quiet register as the lovelorn but resourceful proto-feminist Margaret, “resigned to worship him from the wings” but meanwhile learning every one of Ned’s lines [...] even as he remains cool to her."

"My guess is that it didn’t take too much work to help these young singers understand Puccini’s characters, especially Jessica Sandidge, who brings a melting soprano voice and vulnerability to Mimi, the winsome seamstress stricken with tuberculosis..." |
