"Kelly Cae Hogan had all the physical requirements and a voice strong enough for the many climactic moments. She was fully committed to the character, from the dance's coy unveillings to the erotic kissing of Jokanaan's frighteningly realistic bloody head."
The News & Observer (Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina), Roy C. Dicks

"Metropolitan Opera soprano Hogan delivered a fetching and frightening Salome, her voice, vocal training, and experience every bit the equal of the part. The closing soliloquy with the head of Jokanaan was breathtaking."
Classical Voice of North Carolina, Ken Hoover
