Reviews

As Mary Stone in The Devil and Daniel Webster

Stanton and Vogel formed a fitting, newlywed couple, and Vogel's prayer before the big confrontation between the main protagonists was beautiful and tenderly moving. ~Classical Voice of North Carolina

As the Florence Pike in Albert Herring

Of those singing in both casts, Nicole Vogel as the housekeeper Florence Pike is the best. She has a perfect read on the character's prudishness, and provides easily the best diction of the entire cast. ~ The Daily Camera, 2009

As Flora Bervoix in La Traviata

Mezzo-soprano Nicole Vogel was a fine Flora in terms of acting and her even and well-centered voice. What a treat it was to see this professional appearance of a singer CVNC had reviewed in her UNCG days, when – as Nicole Elizabeth Asel – she appeared as Dorabella in Così fan tutte and Jo March in Adamo's Little Women.

As Desiree Armfeldt in A Little Night Music

What was crystal clear was Vogel's lovely interpretation of the show's most well-known and memorable song, "Send in the Clowns." Vogel's reflective and biting vocal finally gives us a moment to breathe amid the subtle and growing tension in both the story and Sondheim's score. Vogel is alluring as Desiree, and it's easy to see why Egerman pines for her. ~Daily Camera, 2008

As Jo March in Little Women

Her diction was excellent, and her embodiment of the character was totally believable - she created a portrait of a controlling personality. ~Classical Voice of North Carolina, 2003

At the center of the story is Jo, the strongest sister who wants things to remain as they are. Nicole Vogel* stalwartly sang the role, an extremely demanding one; the lead character is in practically every scene, with a major portion of singing in each. Vogel’s* dramatic persona focused the production on the main events of the plot. Her role also demanded singing from the top to the bottom of her range, which she carried out strikingly. ~Greensboro News and Record, 2003

As Meg Page in The Merry Wives of Windsor

Mezzo-soprano Nicole Vogel* was effective as her friend and co-conspirator, Mrs. Page. ~William Thomas Walker, Classical Voice of North Carolina, 2004

Nicole Vogel as Mrs. Page supplied her distinctive voice as a foil. Their duets were delightful. ~Tim Lindeman, Greensboro News and Record, 2003 *printed as Nicole Elizabeth Asel.
