Broadway.com said "Cynthia Harding nearly steals the show in her few fourth-wall breaking moments as Naccarelli's quiet but all-seeing wife" for performances of The Light in the Piazza with Front Porch Theatricals. She was featured in Into the Woods with St. Vincent Summer Theater and previously The Sound of Music with Lincoln Park Performing Arts Center Professional Company in the role of Mother Abbess. Ms. Harding has performed with the acclaimed Syracuse Symphony Orchestra as part of their Stained Glass Series. She was heard as soloist with the Bach Choir of Pittsburgh in performances of Felix Mendelssohn’s ELIJAH with glowing reviews in both the Pittsburgh Post Gazette and the Tribune Review. She was a featured artist during artist a two week concert tour of Spain with the American Festival Orchestra that performed a world premier of Leonardo Balada’s Torquemada Opera Suite. The work of developing a unique character and bringing her to life is something she truly enjoys!
