"A compelling and eloquent Leonore" - Rupert Christiansen, The Telegraph 'Leonore'

"it was Kirstin Sharpin’s powerfully sung Electra who raised the dramatic temperature with her contained fury and, at her final mental collapse, maniacal, cackling coloratura. Thrilling."
- Hugh Canning, The Times 'Idomeneo'

"sounding and looking like the half-supernatural, half-mortal being who...captivates everyone who meets and hears her."- Opera Magazine -  'Die Feen'

"Kirstin Sharpin’s star shone brightly in the title role... a portrayal both impassioned and noble... offering considerable dramatic compensation even in concert... cleanness of vocal line and dramatic commitment" - Boulezian - 'Euryanthe'

​"One daring bit in the programme was an extract from Poulenc's one-woman psychodrama, La Voix Humaine, bravely and soulfully sung by young soprano Kirstin Sharpin."
- Michael Tumelty, The Glasgow Herald
