Soprano

The International press has recognized her for being "Devastatingly on-target", "captivating", "multi-faceted", "both vocally and theatrically very capable of transformation", "a talented actress who also vocally leaves no wish unfulfilled" and critics have hailed her voice as "captivatingly beautiful", "brilliantly nuanced," "luminous," and most recently: "The young soprano Rebecca Nelsen's agile, bright soprano voice knows no boundaries in the coloratura and loves bel canto. Rebecca Nelsen is developing into a lyric soprano of stature with exceptional coloratura fluidity who exhibits an enormous stage presence."
