“And Norina herself (Roxanne Korda) was ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. What a fabulous, rich, exciting voice, managing coloratura at both ends. She should be up there with the best and I bet you she will be . . .”
Roderic Dunnett, Behind the Arrass
“Roxanne Korda touchingly sang two arias with fine musicality and pure tone”
The Philip Bates Foundation
“the most compelling voice . . . Everyone in it was brilliant – especially Korda – and it was a pleasure to sit back and enjoy the sound”
Dauvit Alexander, The Justified Sinner
