Angeliki Theoharis, mezzo-soprano has been described by critics as a singer with "untiring stamina" who"shows her dark tone to great effect." Of her Jordan Hall performance in Il Trovatore, Susan Larson of the Boston Globe wrote:"As Azucena, the gifted mezzo, Angeliki Theoharis, ground out her hair-raising chest notes and nailed her top ones with courage and thrilling beauty". The Boston Herald lauded her performance in Cavalleria Rusticana: "As Santuzza, the heroine of Cavalleria, Theoharis displayed a voice like a canon, capable of launching one big, solid note after another, and created a largely sympathetic character."

In May, 2000, Ms Theoharis made her Carnegie Hall debut, where she perfomed duets from Aida and Cavalleria Rusticana. In December 2001, she was a featured soloist in a Hellenic Foundation event at Merkin Hall, NYC.
