" Mezzo-soprano Margaret Maye was excellent in the speaking role of Princess Kokozov, but, unfortunately, this wonderful performer did not sing and was sorely missed in that capacity."

— Paula Citron, arts reviewer, Opera Canada Magazine

““In the Plaza Toro subplot, Keith Savage, that master of musical theatre, practically stole the show as the Duke, with strong support from talented mezzo-soprano Margaret Maye as the Duchess” ”

— Paula Citron, arts reviewer, Opera Canada Magazine

““…Soprano Marina Shemesh and mezzo Margaret Maye (Marfa, the Tsar’s Bride and her rival, Lyubasha) were also real finds. Both have voices with a wide range, distinctive and attractive timbres and flair for tonal coloring. Two of their numbers remain in my mind: Luybasha’s sad love song in Act I, sung a capella, was hauntingly beautiful… Hopefully, Canadian audiences will have more opportunities to hear these three fine singers.” ”

— Wayne Gooding, , Opera Canada Magazine

"experienced Polish-born mezzo-soprano Margaret Maye has a rich, easy, plumy tones and deserves a bigger career in her adopted country."

— Paula Citron, arts reviewer , Classical 96.3 FM

"Mezzo Margaret Maye was in excellent voice as a colorful gypsy leading an appealing children's choir".

— Geoff Chapman, music critic, , Toronto Star

"Mezzo Margaret Maye as the jealous Lyubasha has a lush voice and dramatic delivery"

— Paula Citron, arts reviewer, Classical 96.3 FM

"Mezzo Margaret Maye, trained in Poland, was very strong, notably in her Act 1 a capella aria"-

— Geoff Chapman, music critic, , Toronto Star

"Among the worthy cast, one to watch is mezzo-soprano Margaret Maye, who performed both Gretchen and the Grand Duchess. She can both sing and act with verve"-

— Paula Citron, arts reviewer, Opera Canada Magazine

It is characterized by sudden, brief seizures, whose nature and intensity varies from person to person. 30% of epilepsy patients do not respond to any available treatments.
