"Glyptis had the perfect combination of beauty and grit to make Aldonza real: there was fire in her voice as she blazed with rage both at the men who abused her and the old man who idealized her. It was heart breaking to watch her Aldonza rally the dying Don Quixote once more with the beautiful strains of 'Dulcinea'."

"It would be remiss not to mention Kelly Glyptis, who captured the conflict, pain, and struggle of Aldonza, all while belting out song after song. She provided one of the most moving scenes of the show with her performance of "Aldonza" and again gave a stunning performance in the finale sequence"

"As Aldonza, soprano Kelly Glyptis was like a caged animal, weary and quick-tempered. Nevertheless, her singing was easy to like. Her eventual transformation into a disciple of quixotism was affecting and believable."

It was also impossible not to love Kelly Glyptis' Fruma-Sarah, who, in one of the production's more whimsical moments, was monstrously tall and deathly pale, with fingers like branches. -The Rapidian/ Fiddler on the Roof National Tour 2020
"In the title role, Kelly Glyptis, Grand Prix winner of the 2021 Musical International Grand Prix... was undeniably star of the show, her strong soprano never overwhelmed by the vivid orchestration... and her portrayal was as complex as Madeleine was conflicted."
-Critics Circle UK/ Surrey Opera's Madeleine 2021
"Mother Abbess, at this performance played stunningly by Kelly Glyptis."
-Broadway World/ Sound of Music National Tour 2019
"The biggest moments came from Kelly Glyptis, erupting in drunken dissonances as Sir Elton John's Trainer"
-The Wall Street Journal/ Opera Saratoga's Vinkensport, or the Finch Opera 2018
"Ms. Glyptis sang with impressive precision and emotion... Her “Mi chiamano Mimi” from La Boheme was quite impressive, and I think this emerging young artist could make it as an actress alone."

"Standouts among the petitioners included Ms. Glyptis as the Foreign Woman whose aria (in Italian) was pure Puccini"
