“Company stalwart Suzan Hanson makes Mme. Raquin, the opera's moral center, a mesmerizing presence even when the character is mute and immobile and can only stare accusingly into the faces of her son's killers”
John Van Rhein - Chicago Tribune
“Suzan Hanson brought an irresistibly irking monstrousness to Madame Lisette Raquin.”
Mark Swed - LA Times
"Suzan Hanson’s beautifully focused tone and fine acting gives Madame Lisette Raquin (Camille’s mother) a powerful presence as the manipulative, domineering matriarch.”
Coril Porchnow - Singerpreneur
"Suzan Hanson adds to her gallery of distinguished performances for LBO as Madame Lisette.”
Jim Ruggeillo - Gazettes
“It’s a shock at first to see frequent LBO lead Suzan Hanson summarily cast in the role of the matriarch, though the white wig and intervening paralyzing stroke do not adequately disguise her charismatic star appeal”
Myron Meisel - Stage Raw
"Suzan Hanson captures the misguided strictness of Madame Raquin, who never acknowledges her smothering effect on those around her.”
George Wallace - A Fool in the Forrest
