意大利斯卡拉歌剧院著名指挥家艾瑞克-德莫利评价加拿大多伦多音乐学院副院长、著名女高音歌唱家刘玉梅是当今最值得喝彩、最具有音乐感染力的女高音歌唱家之一。“Bel canto”(美声)在意大利语中意为美好的歌唱。西方人所理解的“bel canto”是指由罗西尼、多尼采蒂、贝利尼等作曲家开创的一个特定时代所包括的歌唱风格、内容、形式、技巧等，而上述三位作曲家的作品也成为联结古典主义晚期与浪漫主义时期歌剧的桥梁。当本刊记者今日采访加拿大多伦多音乐学院副院长刘玉梅时，她告诉我：“既为美好的歌唱，也就是说演唱者的声音首先是美的，而给予美好歌唱的支持的就是歌唱方法了，气息、共鸣、高位置等都是必不可少的。”
