“Rachel Willis-Sørensen sang a scorching Donna Anna here in 2018 .. What has grown is her dramatic interpretation, biting into recitatives”
“Soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen (Donna Anna) astonished among the women with her poignancy and masterful control – like listening to an angelic knife. It’s worth noting that she will sing the title role in Ariadne auf Naxos at the COC in 2027.”
Lev Bratishenko, Opera Canada
“In past revivals one of the production’s most successful portrayals has been Rachel Willis-Sørensen’s Donna Anna and she returns this time. Thanks to her near-ideal balance of vocal beauty and authority it would be difficult to find Donna Anna’s dignified closing aria better sung at the moment.”
