5. SAN FRANSICO CHRONICLE—“Larger than life as Baba The Turk…”

6. SAN JOSE LIVING—” Roberta Brickman’s Baba the Turk was a riot of energy and humor complimented by a fearless approach to Stravinsky’s demanding vocal writing. Brickman gave a vocally solid, highly entertaining performance… with a lush sensual tone.."

7. SFCV.org—"Roberta Brickman, a petite and convincing Baba The Turk….she dominated the Auction scene with a mix of broad comedy and grandeur. Like Leerhubert, she sang with a fine sense for words and drama: her solemn warning to Anne,'Then find him, and his man beware;' stood out clearly…"

8.Irene Dalis—General Director—Opera San Jose… “A true mezzo-soprano, her rich timbre and wide range was utilized with intelligence and ease in a most challenging role. Ms. Brickman has excellent comic timing and at the same time brings out a human warmth that reads beautifully. In this role, that is uniquely difficult, she demonstrated a command of the stage that was essential to the success of the opera. She was a true asset to the production.”

9. Joanne Falletta—Conductor and Musical Director. I Sang twice at the VIRGINIA SYMPHONY..” In response to my CD. “You have an exquisite voice.. I do hope that we will have a collaboration…”
