“Daniela Mack's Rosina matched Shrader ['s Almaviva] note for note in their duets and ensembles. Her warm mezzo-soprano easily encompassed the highs and lows of this difficult role. ‘Una voce poco fa’ was given a spunky reading, with interesting (and different) embellishments grabbing our attention.” —Opera News, June 2009 - Rosina in 'Il barbiere di Siviglia' with Opera Cleveland
“Daniela Mack sang Rosina with a dusky mezzo-soprano that exudes flashes of brilliance in bravura phrases. Her Rosina is a mix of honey and fire, with plenty of expressive facial gestures to reveal the girl's changing emotions.” —Cleveland Plain Dealer, March 29, 2009 - Rosina in 'Il barbiere di Siviglia' with Opera Cleveland
“From the first wistful folksong she sang, Mack made a winning impression in the title role. She seemed truly smitten with Shrader’s baby-faced Don Ramiro; the pair made a convincing picture of innocent first love. Mack unfurled a voice of supple warmth…” —San Francisco Chronicle, July 16, 2007 - Angelina in 'La Cenerentola' with Merola Opera Program
