"Soprano Kelly Smith as Beth delivers a heart-wrenching perfomance."
- Kareen Alenier, culturevulture.net, Little Women

"Kelly Smith as Beth was also of fine soprano range and her death bed singing was the most poignant of the evening."
- All ARTS REVIEW 4U, Bob Anthony, Little Women

"Kelly Smith was affecting as the dying Beth."
- Daniel Ginsberg, The Washington Post, Little Women

"Kelly Smith was a sweet and fragile Beth."
- IONARTS, Charles T. Downey, Little Women

"Kelly Smith, singing the role of Marguerite was stellar in her work."
 - Ed Vincent, Oak Park Journal, Faust 

 "All of the voices were good; Kelly Smith, who sang Lucia, Manon (Massenet's) and Pamina, made a particularly strong impression."
- Joseph McLellan, The Washington Post, Fatal Song

"Kelly Smith was radiant and dewy as Marguerite, and her agile soprano soared through the "Jewel Song" as though she's been singing it all her young life.  You could actually see and hear her character change when she opened Mephistophele's gift box and donned the precious gems she rhapsodizes over.  She triumphed in the finale's stirring trio "Anges Purs" sending her voice heavenward."
- D.L. Groover, Houston Press, Faust

"As Phoebe Pyncheon, soprano Kelly Smith is a perfect embodiment of the young, recently arrived country cousin who brings sweetness and light to the dank, decaying atmosphere of the cursed house.  Her highly attractive, unfailingly intelligible delivery is a model of vocal naturalism."
- Joshua Rosenbaum, Opera News, The House of the Seven Gables

"And Kelly Smith, a soprano with a bright timbre and an easy stage manner, was perfect as Phoebe, the Pyncheon's cousin from the country."
- Allan Kozinn, The New York Times, The House of the Seven Gables

"Eyerly's best moments are some lovely arias, like the strophic Song of the Rose, sung by Phoebe (the wonderfully sweet-voiced lyric soprano, Kelly Smith), the merry young cousin who enters the gloomy Pyncheon household..."
