Lady Macbeth in Macbeth

“The powerful and dramatic Suzan Hanson as his wife and co-conspirator, was a revelation. “ Press Telegram ,John Farrell

“I have long been an admirer of Suzan Hanson and have wondered why she doesn’t have a bigger career (whatever that means), but this multi-talented actor/writer/singer/fill-in-the-blank has a juicy role here, thanks to Mr. Bloch and Mr. Shakespeare, and it’s also a sexy one. She has what it takes to appear to get it on with”an official“barihunk, and director Mitisek (never too shy for such things) gives us lots of lusty interaction including an alarming bit of simulated intercourse in which I was certain Hanson had her head smashed into the table. I would hate to see one of LBO’s treasures get put out of commission in such a fashion!” OperaWest,  David Gregson

“Suzan Hanson is Lady Macbeth who here is not some overweening shrew but, at the outset, a beloved companion and equal to her husband, lively, intelligent, sexy, cherished, respected. The Macbeths have a relationship of trust and mutual admiration, until the Thane becomes King and a celebratory canoodle turns selfishly brutal, the first symptom perhaps of his ultimately fatal overreach.” A Fool in the Forest,  George Wallace

Nmon Ford as Macbeth

Suzan Hanson’s soprano is by turns seductive and emotionally riveting in the most dramatic moments. These two carry the brunt of the 105-minute opera, with no intermissions. Their roles require not only operatic skill, but leaping on and off the table, which is the only piece of scenery, and some very convincing acting. They are believable as a loving couple and also as bloody murderers.” Long Beach Gazette, Laurann Wakefield

“Suzan Hanson has long and deservedly been a mainstay of LBO and her forceful, but enticing, Lady Macbeth os another coup in her catalog of artfully delineated and memorable characters sung for the company.” Stage Happenings , Michael Duzer
