Some reviews of her performances include her performance as the Mother in Hansel and Gretel with Bronx Opera: “Elizabeth Perryman’s interpretation of Gertrude, the mother, lived up to every expectation in terms of vocal flair. However, it was her acting ability that truly shined, simultaneously able to portray an aggravated old shrew and a deeply concerned parent.”  A reviewer speaks of her Amelia with Amore Opera’s Un Ballo In Maschera: “Elizabeth Perryman’s impassioned outbursts were quite striking. Ms. Perryman sang with abundant tone and emotional fervor. She used her vocal gifts with clarity and precision. Ms. Perryman made this reviewer a merryman with her truly outstanding performance.” Ms. Perryman has sung the soprano solos in Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and Mozart’s C Minor Mass with the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra and the Newark Basilica Cathedral Choir.  Ms. Perryman teaches voice to students to all levels as an adjunct voice professor at Wagner College to elementary music in North Brunswick, New Jersey.  She is a soprano section leader at the Newark Cathedral Basilica.

A review of her Brunnhilde included: “This demanding role suits Elizabeth Perryman, to which she brings an unusually beautiful voice.” Ms. Perryman sang excerpts this season from Andre Chenier with the Vermont Philharmonic. From a review, “In excerpts from Andre Chenier with Vermont Philharmonic, Perryman delivered with fine warmth and color all the emotion and then some.”  From a review of her Coronation Mass solos “Ms. Perryman’s effortless, radiant, and graceful tone left the room in awe.” Ms. Perryman teaches elementary music in North Brunswick, New Jersey and is an adjunct voice teacher at Wagner College.
