Reviews for A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC with the Indiana Repertory Theatre:
“Jacquelynne Fontaine plays a sarcastic and witty Countess Charlotte Malcolm. Her portrayal is hilarious and also, touching. As a woman dealing with the long-term infidelity of the husband she loves, her struggle is real and painful. Fontaine is a former Miss California and her beauty is apparent, but her talent as an actress is the real scene-stealer.”
Outstanding comic performances from Glenn Seven Allen and Jacquelynne Fontaine as Count and Countess Malcolm add another delicious layer of duality to the production.
This winter, Jacquelynne will be performing the role of the Countess Charlotte in A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC with the Indiana Repertory Theater company in Indianapolis, with opera superstar Sylvia McNair as Desiree!
In March 2013, she will sing her debut with the Tacoma Opera in the role of Violetta in LA TRAVIATA.

Jacquelynne is now signed with Professional Artists Agency in NYC! She is still managed by Pinnacle Arts Management for Opera and Classical engagements. Professional Artists specialize in Musical Theater in addition to film and television.
More exciting news to come!

Review highlights for A ROOM WITH A VIEW in San Diego:
“[T]he Italian caretakers of the pensione in Act I are lavishly promising, especially as powerfully vocalized by the sexy and astounding Jacquelynne Fontaine and Glenn Seven Allen.”
*
“Jacquelynne Fontaine in the role of Ragazza was tremendous. I thought she had the best voice I’ve heard at The Globe. I looked at her bio and lo and behold, she’s an opera singer. Her singing didn’t come off as operatic in this show; it just came off as nice.”
*
“The romance, … is comically operatic in the musical, with two actual opera singers nearly stealing the show, as lusty Italian servants and later, inebriated English ones.”
*
“For me, though, the musical moments tended to climax when Jacquelynne Fontaine and Glenn Seven Allen were about. These two _ charmingly named Ragazza and Italiano – are the invention of the authors, used as the embodiment of Italy’s heart and soul. Both handsome young performers have ready an operatic climax or scrap of passion as needed and they serve brilliantly as a vivid contrast to things British”

REVIEWS FOR THE STUDENT PRINCE WITH PITTSBURGH CLO
“Ms. Fontaine’s crystal-clear soprano and effortless acting made her a treat as Kathie, the barmaid and object of the prince’s affections”
“…the versatile soprano Jacquelynne Fontaine, a charming and vivacious actress.”
“Jacquelynne Fontaine shines both in singing and acting Kathie, doing so with total conviction and naturalness.”
“Chad Johnson who plays Prince Karl Franz, and Jacquelynne Fontaine, who plays the barmaid Kathie, are young, smart, attractive and vulnerable. They’re also both trained opera singers who give full heartfelt voice to this lush and lovely music.”
“It is easy to see why everyone falls under the charms of Kathie because Fontaine plays her with such charm and wit.”
