"Sitting in the audience, one can feel the expert singing and emotions that Krause is portraying. This aria alone is worth the price of admission."
Broadway World
"The best pure singer was soprano Rainelle Krause."
San Antonio Express-News
"Crystalline-voiced coloratura Rainelle Krause was charming as mossy-toned Blondie."
Incident Light
"A rising soprano talent to watch."
The Column
"Soprano Krause [soars] gorgeously in songs given to amours; the voice was pure, the intonation absolute. She was a pleasure to hear."
The Herald Times
"The Queen of the Night by Rainelle Krause Impresses with his total mastery of vocalizations from her first grand aria"
Olyrix
"Rainelle Krause steals the show as Oscar, in a trouser role. The American coloratura soprano Rainelle Krause's voice bursts through the large soundscape in the finest way and just like her Queen of the Night in Barrie Kosky's THE MAGIC FLUTE in 2020, Krause steals the show when she performs."
