"Jennifer Cherest also makes her company debut as virtuous sister and former shepherdess Sour Genovieffa, Cherest's silvery vocals are angelic and empyprean, gilded with pristine beauty that transcends the heavens."

"After a lively rendition of the Overture, soprano Jennifer Cherest was a delightfully over-the-top Cunegonde in “Glitter and Be Gay,” taking her act mid-aria off the stage and to the theater’s ground floor and, once back onstage, removing jewelry from some of the orchestra’s women musicians while singing."

"Ms. Jennifer Cherest was a great surprise with an incredibly good Zerlina. She was definitely one of the best assets of this performance. Her chemistry with Masetto was uncanny and she conveyed perfectly the character’s flirtatious liveliness, and her singing was well modulated.

She was helped by another great performance by Mr. David Weigel as Masetto. The couple stole the show whenever they were on stage”

“She joined with Giovanni in a seductive account of the famous duettino ‘Là ci darem la mano,’ and she was the rare Zerlina who made something both touching and amusing of the aria ‘Batti, batti, o bel Masetto,’ her technique little challenged by the coloratura and ascent to top B. In Act Two, Ms. Cherest impressed both in ensembles and in her bright-toned singing of ‘Vedrai, carino.’ Her chemistry with Mr. Weigel was endearing, and it was fantastic to hear a voice more substantial than the usual airy (and air-headed) soubrette in Zerlina’s music.”

"Soprano Jennifer Cherest, the Suor Genovieffa, outshone the other secondaries. Her tone was warm yet youthful. Her shaping of phrases was elegant and worthy of the bel canto ideal. I hope Omaha audiences will get a chance to hear her more in the future."

“The remaining cast members were nothing short of excellent. Soprano Jennifer Cherest and mezzo-soprano Alexandra Rodrick played the stepsisters Clorinda and Tisbe respectively with clown-like wit and agility.”

“It was the Met Opera-like quality singing of Opera Columbus’ Jennifer Cherest in Delibes’ “Viens, Mallika,…Dõme épais le jasmin” from Lakmé  that cemented the program as one for the ages.”

“Where to begin in enumerating the evening’s riches? Perhaps with soprano Jennifer Cherest, if only because she got so much stage time and used it so superbly – first in a crystalline duet with tenor Andrew Stenson from Lehár’s “Merry Widow,” then in a beautifully expressive and technically polished aria from Handel’s “Alcina.”

"Soprano Jennifer Cherest, evoking the Egyptian god Ptah as the High Priestess, was strikingly expressive."

“Encountering a full, evenly-produced lyric voice with no weaknesses in any portion of the range of Susanna’s music was a sensational pleasure. Had Cherest’s virtues been solely vocal, she would have been a noteworthy Susanna, but the imagination and sensitivity of her performance made a distinctive Susanna an unforgettable one.”

“Jennifer Cherest’s emotionally charged singing as Sibyl was very affecting”

“Also making her Cincinnati Opera debut, Jennifer Cherest brought an attractive lyric soprano to the role of Cristina Kahlo, Frida’s sister and sometime rival for Rivera’s affection.”

“Lawrence, the husband, was upstaged by the fine soprano Jennifer Cherest, not a Domingo-Cafritz singer, as Amy’s wise-cracking daughter, Emma.”

“Soprano Jennifer Cherest was consistently impressive as the radiant, resilient Sandrina”
