  • „Andächtiges Staunen bei 'Quando m'en vo.“

    “Reverent astonishment during ‘Quando m’en vo.’”

    - Marion Klötzer, Badische Zeitung

  • „Sara De Francos voller Sopran - bestach in starker koloraturhafter Klangweite [...] Zu einem musikalischen Kleinod entwickelte sich das 'Et incarnatus est' aus der C-Moll Messe."

    “Sara De Franco’s full soprano dazzled with a strong coloratura range […] The ‘Et incarnatus est’ from the C Minor Mass developed into a musical gem.”

    - Heide Friederichs, Schwarzwälder Bote

  • „Ihr obertonreicher lyrischer, herrlich beweglicher Sopran strahlt jene sensible Sinnlichkeit aus[...]"

    “Her overtone-rich, lyrical, gloriously flexible soprano radiates a sensitive sensuality […]”

    -Alexander Dick, Badische Zeitung

  • "De Franco is memorable as the smart-aleck whose desperation reveals a powerful sincerity."

    „De Franco ist als frecher Besserwisser unvergesslich, dessen Verzweiflung eine stark Aufrichtigkeit offenbart.”

    - Wil Aiken, U of R Campus Times
