“As the title character, Willis-Sorensen brought a smart sensibility and a rich sound to her music—totally believable as someone who wasn’t going to let herself be married off casually, just to save the family’s finances, no matter how much she loved them. She has a major voice—a big sound—and knows how to use it to express a variety of emotions.”

“The first performance of Arabella this season was distinguished by a felicitous series of debuts. Chief among them was Rachel Willis-Sørensen’s first stage performance of the title role, portrayed with warmth and dignity...Willis-Sørensen’s soprano, even and unforced across its range, projected easily through the house, and her phrasing in ‘Mein Elemer!’ revealed genuine introspection. She sang not as the flirtatious ingénue of tradition but as a young woman quietly testing the limits of her resolve.”
