“The Lover is a character in Alice in Soper’s wonderland, faced with all the maddening complexities of modern love. Tivoli Treloar, a 21-year-old in undergraduate in UCLA’s opera program, superbly inhabits the stage like a veteran in her extraordinary first professional starring role. She commands an epic part, exuding a confidence attained through song, operatic aria and extended avant-garde vocal practices. The premiere of “Rose” was Saturday night. Rather than allowing the singers the couple days of rest their voices need, the second performance was a matinee less than 24 hours later. I attended that matinee, and Treloar's voice remained fresh and gleamed.”
“Tivoli Treloar, a voice-performance major at U.C.L.A., radiated sophisticated sweetness as the Lover.”
“Radiating a charming mixture of naïveté and intelligence, Tivoli Treloar has a light mezzo-soprano flexible enough to convey all the Lover’s changes of perspective.”
“And carrying the show both comedically and vocally is that other young talent, Tivoli Treloar as The Lover with the voice and mannerisms of a valley girl accompanied by a professional operatic voice.”
“Not surprisingly, in her/our dream the audience member-cum-Lover is shocked to find she has a “new voice” - a powerful and fluid mezzo-soprano, don’tcha know”

“At her most magnificent, Treloar embodied illumination that ran through the voice and body, as though she were conducting the universe.”
“Tivoli Treloar is outstanding as the Lover, with a marvelous voice and charismatic presence. Although still a student at UCLA, this young singer has a bright future.”
“As The Lover, Treloar’s seemingly effortless command of every note, regardless of how she’s called upon to act or move during the utterance, is just: wow.”
