Secretary, The Consul - Seattle Opera “Sarah Larsen's eloquently sung Secretary subtly showed her unfeeling-functionary front to be protective armor through glimpses of core humanity” – Mark Mandel, Opera News, February 22nd, 2014 “And so is most memorably Sarah Larsen, who just finished a run as the sexy Maddalena in the company’s “Rigoletto,” and has now made a triumphant return as the heartless Secretary who finally develops doubts about the chilling bureaucracy she implements.” – Melinda Bargreen, The Seattle Times, February 24th, 2014 “Larsen looked and sounded every inch the 1950s bored bureaucrat. Her “Mi tradi’ was a delight.' - Maria Nockin, Opera Today, March 16th, 2016 Her vocals are riveting and passionate throughout.” - Andy Garrigue, Richmond Times-Dispatch, November 17th, 2018 'Sarah Larsen sang Donna Elvira’s music with taste and technical excellence as she encompassed the character’s mix of strong emotions. As Leporello sings of the amazing quantity of Giovanni’s conquests, Larsen masterfully goes through 50 shades of mortification. Heroic and heartbreaking, she possesses a presence that grounds the action when chaos otherwise reigns.” - Kelle Long, Broadway World, November 11th, 2018 “Sarah Larsen as Donna Elvira, entirely conflicted in her feelings for Giovanni, is a tightly bound ball of anguish, anxiety and fear that never uncoils. She glides smoothly between lovesick and cynic without sacrificing tonal quality. Her powerful mezzo-soprano is lush and authoritative. Her grand, majestic entrance is as chill-inducing as intended.” - Rebecca Evans, WHRO/PBS, November 5th, 2018 “Among the scorned lovers, Sarah Larsen rises as a standout in the role of Donna Elvira. Donna Elvira, Don Giovanni - Virginia Opera & Arizona Opera “Sarah Larsen gifts us with masterful singing as Donna Elvira.
