“Desirée Earl sang a surprisingly sweet 'Zum Leiden bin ich auserkoren,' while standing on a suspended crescent moon. In Act II, she brought steel to the demanding coloratura of the vengeful 'Der Hölle Rache,'" wrote the Los Altos Town Crier.

“Earl as the Queen was the standout voice in the cast. The role is known to be difficult and she did a lovely, spot-on job,” said the Napa News.

“Desirée Earl sang the Queen, making an impressive stage presence and managing to vocalize her flashy series of five high Fs,” said the Milpitas Post.

“Desirée Earl is charming, flirtatious,” wrote The St. Louis Post-Dispatch of her performance as Celeste in Sunday in the Park with George.

Benjamin Ivry of the New York Concert Review said, “Desirée Earl…showed off polish in her graceful high notes.”

Her performance of Abigail in The Crucible was declared “bewitching” by the Spectrum Weekly.
