Liu. Critics consistently enjoy Ronit''s ability to sing with compelling conviction and
warmth with a voice whose naturally extensive range shows "fine-spun altitudes"
The Eugene register-Guard arts critic in January 2004 described Ronit''s role as Michaela
as follows: "One of the most impressive artists was Ronit Widmann- -Levy
playing...Michaela, the sweet innocent country girl...Widmann -Levy, made her two
arias memorable. Her voice has a weighty tone, and she uses it with solid technique."
This fall, Ronit begins a concert tour in Europe and the U.S with her New CD Como la Rosa.
