  • STRAVINSKY - The Rake's Progress

    Teatro Colón, Buenos Aries
    Jul 2023
    • ...the American soprano Andrea Carroll got into the skin of the great character of Anne Trulove with her light voice, emitted with precision, tuning and beautiful registers

    • Andrea Carroll played Anne Trulove: her beautiful timbre and perfect delivery were ideal for her part. A truly triumphant evening for the three main protagonists

    • Soprano Andrea Carroll , sings Anne Trulove ("True Love"), Tom's fiancée, with surgical precision. Her voice, limpid and luminous, is as agile as a scalpel: her ease in the highest notes and the execution of octave leaps impresses. The vocal curves she draws are pure, both ingenuous and sensual.

  • VERDI - Falstaff

    Palm Beach Opera, Florida
    Mar 2023
    • The duets of soprano Andrea Carroll and tenor Anthony Ciaramitaro as Nannetta and Fenton provided interludes of smooth lyricism amid all the chaos. Carroll, in particular, brought a voice of notable sweetness and flexibility to the role, giving an affecting performance in the final scene dressed in white with a green garland as Queen of the Fairies.

  • MOZART - Le nozze di Figaro

    Canadian Opera Company, Toronto
    Jan 2023
    • Not to be outdone was Austrian soprano Andrea Carroll as a vocally stunning Susanna – her “Deh vieni, non tartar” was among the very best I’ve heard in my 56 years of attending live opera.

    • Andrea Carroll’s high energy Susanna was a delight. Consistently fun to watch, she nailed “Deh vieni non tardar”, which got the longest and loudest ovation on opening night.

    • Carroll is a dynamic Susanna, flipping between roles and relationships while delivering clear, impressive vocal performances consistently throughout the three-and-a-half hour opera

    • American Andrea Carroll is a mellower-voiced Susanna with clear phrasing, but it is her vibrant portrayal of mischief and mockery of her upper class superiors that steal the show.

    • American soprano Andrea Carroll is a sassy and assertive Susanna, more ambiguous in her relationships than we usually see and in real control of events. She’s a perfect counterpart to her mistress(...) Both voices are simply gorgeous, Carroll readily handling the more intricate writing for her role.

  • MOZART - Die Zauberflöte

    Houston Grand Opera, Houston
    Feb 2022
    • As impressive as Krause was, it was Andrea Carroll’s Pamina that stole the show. She brought vocal purity and agility to “Ach ich fühl’s”, with caressed phrases and grief-filled portamenti that were literally spine-tingling. In ensemble numbers, she carried effortlessly.

    • Il cast di cantanti era di buon livello, come il soprano Andrea Carroll, che impersonava una Pamina affabile e credibile, dal canto brillante, musicale e sicura di sé. " [TRANSLATED] "The cast of singers was of a good standard, like the soprano Andrea Carroll, who played an affable and credible Pamina, with brilliant singing, musicality and self-confidence.

    • Carroll enhanced the compelling moments [she was on stage with Papageno] with the warmth and lyricism that by and large dominated her singing. She brought particular poise to Pamina’s cozy duet with Papageno, “Bei Männern.

  • MOZART - Don Giovanni

    Teatro alla Scala, Milan
    Apr 2022
    • The Zerlina by Andrea Carroll is sparkling , mischievous at the right point in its two arias, both phrased with freshness and well covered throughout

    • Brilliant scenically and vocally is Andrea Carrol 's Zerlina whose ring recalls some light but well projected voices from the past.

    • A pleasant surprise is Andrea Carroll in the role of Zerlina. The soprano shows off an innate musicality and the right softness in the emission. Stylistically pertinent, she delivers a noteworthy performance of her two arias, highlighting a good mastery of the medium, characterized by bright timbre and light colour. On the stage she is also delightful and graceful, a Zerlina who knows the game of seduction and who is not so indifferent in the face of the diabolical Don Giovanni's offerings

    • Andrea Carroll, a fresh Zerlina with a precise and silvery instrument, also does very well"

    • Soprano Andrea Carroll caused the audience to stop the performance to thank both her 'Batti, batti' or 'Vedrai carino' and 'Vedrai carino' with applause.

    • Zerlina (the American Andrea Carroll) is a miracle of freshness and brightness

  • ROSSINI - Le Comte Ory

    Garsington Opera
    Jul 2021
    • Star of the show, though, was the American soprano Andrea Carroll who, as Countess Adèle whirled through the coloratura with the style and ease with which she did the splits. The evenness and extent of Carroll’s range is remarkable, gleaming at the top, creamy in the middle, and rich and dark at the bottom. Ory never stood a chance against this savvy Countess.

    • First among equals was Andrea Carroll singing Adèle, delivering outstanding bel canto singing. There’s something of the sundae to Carroll’s voice: rich and syrupy at the bottom with a decadent topping of light whipped cream. Registers were completely integrated and coloratura on point.

  • MOZART - Die Zauberflöte

    Wiener Staatsoper, Austria
    Jan 2020
    • [TRANSLATED] The graceful American soprano Andrea Carroll sang for the first time the role of Pamina at the Staatsoper. It is a lyrical, light voice whose colour, width and voice power allow her to approach the roles where the lyrics are more important than the lightness. She was an extraordinary and tenderly princess in love. That musical and dramatically essential facet in Pamina, was very evident in the magnificent intervention of the American soprano in the duet with Tamino, Bei Männern, welche Liebe fühlen.

  • VERDI - Rigoletto

    Vienna State Opera, Vienna
    May 2019
    • The best of the cast is Andrea Carroll's Gilda, flawless in diction, soft in emission and confident in technique. As we have already had occasion to underline, the American soprano stands out for her originality and interpretative expertise

    • Andrea Carroll proved an excellent choice as Gilda, with her effortless bell-like soprano underscoring a natural and charming stage demeanour ideally suited to the part. Fine intonation, acutely-placed glissandi, and solidly-executed trills

    • [Translated] The second role debut, namely that of Andrea Carroll, is also excellent, and it wasn't just limited to a wonderful "Caro nome". Gilda is a tricky role not least because the enthusiastic naïve has become difficult to convey in the digital age - every vibrato that reveals life experience is out of place, because otherwise you wouldn't buy her sacrificial death for the faithless duke. But Carroll nailed that innocent look exactly.
