Soprano
Jan Prokop brought to mind the great tradition of British oratorio singers with
her dark lower register, warm vibrato and silvery high notes.”
The
Washington Post (Soprano soloist, The Messiah)
Notable among the soloists was the harmony between the soprano voices of Jan
Prokop and . . .”
The Berliner MorgenPost (Soprano soloist, Monteverdi Marienvespers
of 1610)
Jan Prokop certainly ranks as a fluent Bach interpreter . . . a stylish singer,
concerned as much with the communicative treatment of words as with rich sonority
and shapely phrasing.”
St. Louis Post Dispatch (Soprano soloist, J.S. Bach Magnificat)
Jan Prokop sang a sympathetic and believable Musetta. Now we have . . . a virile
Marcello and a seductive Musetta (who) crackle in counterpoint.”
The Register-Guard, Eugene, OR (La Boheme)
The one spot in the score that came across with winning insouciance was the
glowing second-act love duet from Anne and Fenton . . . the whole sequence was
airborne and captivating, and it also was distinguished by some of the evening’s
best singing - from Jan Prokop as Anne . . . Miss Prokop’s ability to
reduce her tone to a floating pianissimo without losing the core provided a
number of them (fine moments).”
The Nashville Courier-Journal (Anne Page, The Merry Wives of Windsor)
But soprano Jan Prokop was the real center of attention. She made her
way around the embellishments splendidly in that number (“Laughing Song”)
and the third act jail-scene ‘Audition Aria’. And with her golden
hair superbly coifed, she swept around the stage with a dancer’s skill.”
The Indianapolis News (Adele, Die Fledermaus)
Prokop’s voice was bright, secure and well-intoned in its upper reaches.
So there was authentic sparkle to the (Mozart-Adam) variations, with soprano
and flute engaged in imitative rivalry.”
St. Louis Post Dispatch (Concert with Jan Gippo, principal piccolo,
St. Louis Symphony)
Jan Prokop as Johanna was a delight to see and hear. Her singing was beautifully
expressive and she acted with flair.”
The Herald-Telephone, Bloomington, IN (Johanna, Sweeney Todd)
. . . and there was some wonderful business between the mayor and Jan Prokop,
as his wife, during the presentation of a key . . . “
St. Louis Post-Dispatch (The Mayor’s Wife, Bye, Bye Birdie)
Ms. Prokop is a natural born cabaret performer – eloquent vocals, exciting
song choices and a total command of the stage and the room. And the chemistry
between vocalist and musical director is simply the best in cabaret. This is
a must-see cabaret debut.”
Cabaret Hotline, NYC (Journeys of the Heart)
"Prokop is a good entertainer and singer who picks quality songs . . .
with a stellar voice and confident stage presence."
