Her connection with both audience and her material - serving as
a conduit for the
feelings and thoughts expressed in the show- was amazing.
Quite honestly, I have never heard the very familiar "If I Loved
You" done quite as well!  Several song pairings were surprising
- and perfectly performed.  And when it comes to a ballad, no
one does it better than Maria on songs like "A Quiet Thing."
Truly someone ready to make her mark on the cabaret scene,
Ms. Ottavia is a performer to watch -
and catch when she makes her next appearance.
