Shanny
"Emotional and deeply personal singing... Keegan not only sang beautifully but with intention...With a rich, dark tone to her voice, the mezzo used nuanced phrasing and dynamics."

TheaterKompass
"Shannon Keegan (Mezzo-soprano) makes it vividly and wonderfully clear that the real reconciliation in this opera lies in Zerlina's C major aria "Vedrai carino".

"Ms. Keegan is a tremendous vocalist, but proved herself to be an actress as well, able to find her way believably and honestly into the deep feelings in the text. At one point, during a piano interlude, she turned her back to the audience and looked down at the keyboard as if it were another character on stage with her."

"In ‘King David’, Keegan sang of the man’s profound despair heightened by the singing of a nightingale... ‘King David’, however, was one of the freeze-frame moments of the entire week."

"The outstanding American mezzo-soprano, Shannon Keegan,
then styled the "Habanera" with dazzling tones and great vocal expressiveness....The Easter chorus from Pietro Mascagni's "Cavalleria rusticana" had a magnificent effect, where Shannon Keegan once again offered an impressive vocal performance as Santuzza."

Staatsoper Stuttgart New Years Concert
"Shannon Keegan, a very versatile mezzo-soprano who performed a brilliant "Habanera" from Bizet's "Carmen" both vocally and dramatically."
