"Amid lively casts the Canadian
soprano Sharon Azrieli, as the heroine of Le Docteur Miracle,
was a mistress of merry inflections, piquant phrasing, and pointed
words."
Andrew Porter - THE NEW YORKER
"Sharon Azrieli's Susanna managed to
be wily yet candid, flirtatious, practical and utterly charming. And
her bell-like soprano is always exquisitely in tune, whether in the
numerous ensembles, or in the delightful duet with the Countess (Sull'aria)
as they plot to trap the Count. Best of all was her lovely legato
singing in her 'Deh Vieni' aria in the fourth act garden scene."
Florence Fisher - SARASOTA HERALD-TRIBUNE
"Outstanding was Sharon Azrieli,
who sang Rachel in La Juive with an exceedingly
beautiful voice,
full of feeling."
Noam Ben-Zeev - HA'ARETZ
"Having heard her in Mozart last
September, I found that the shift into high romantic gear becomes
Azrieli. Her engagingly clear and vibrant voice matched the
sentiments and sentimentality of the Tchaikovsky songs. Azrieli sang
in Russian and rendered the songs with vocal exuberance."
Ilse Zadrozny - THE MONTREAL GAZETTE
"Susanna, one of the longest roles
in opera, was the delightful Sharon Azrieli. Pert and pretty, she
has a lovely warm voice that easily floated over the orchestra. Her
rock-solid technique enabled her in the fourth act, after a long
evening, to still sing an ethereal and enchanting 'Deh vieni non
tardar' ".
Kenneth Blount - OUR TOWN
"Sharon Azrieli as Susanna, turned
in some polished, colorful vocalism and scored theatrical points."
