merican Soprano Beth McCool is best known for her lusciously rich and silvery voice. Critically acclaimed for her innate musicality and engaging stage presence, hers is a sound that fills the hall and stirs the soul. Whether on stage for opera, oratorio or operetta, Ms. McCool consistently delivers a captivating performance.

Her latest offering is from the recording studio, a collection of bel canto gems. For the opera novice or aficionado, "Bel Canto Plus" includes an impressive selection of both familiar and rarely recorded arias.

"Her performance as Elsie Maynard is a model of singing and acting grace and stands head and shoulders above an otherwise fine, if not brilliant, cast. She demonstrated a beautiful voice, beautifully controlled."

— The Yeomen of the Guard, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

"Beth McCool…, in particular, provided one of the evening’s more interesting moments…definitely the right idea."

— Mascagni's Iris, Opera News

"Ms. McCool took center stage giving a performance that was both impassioned and exquisite. In the "Domine Deus," Ms. McCool captured the distinctions between the sensuous wide leaps and the innocent and naïve chant-like sections…her voice floated above the chorus."

— Poulenc's Gloria, The Augusta Chronicle
