She successfully performed the role of Rosina in Zurich, Bremen, Beaune and St. Petersburg. Many critics note that her voice – “a rare, rich, mellifluous, contralto, … with every note perfectly placed and almost threateningly expressive” (Seenandheard-international.com, 22 August 2013) – is an ideal fit for Rossini’s operas. Besides parts of Rosina and Marchesa Melibea, she also portrays Isabella (L'Italiana in Algeri), Edoardo (Matilde di Shabran), Lucilla (La scala di seta), and sings a title role in La Cenerentola.

Part of Count Almaviva he only sang once – at the Aspen Music Festival.
“Josh Lovell, whose sumptuously developed, lyric tenor will be a major addition to productions of works from the Baroque and bel canto repertoire. Lovell’s secure top notes, expressive line, and clear decoration in rapid passage work helped transform this Rossinian gem into a fitting first conclusion... Lovell’s impressive runs and top pitches call for further Rossinian contributions”. (Operatoday.com, 18 April 2018).
