Die lustige Witwe
“Rebecca Nelsen carries the show like a star, rocks the dances, lets herself be carried on a sofa, and captivates vocally with brilliant, effortless highs.”

Die Zauberflöte
“Rebecca Nelsen as Pamina is a delight; she balances beautiful singing with portraying a young woman who longs for love, doesn’t know how to find it, and is at the same time charged by her mother with committing murder.”
Kurier
La Boheme
“Rebecca Nelsen plays an endearing and human Mimì, without underlining too much the pathos of the character. The timbre balances warmth and brilliance in all registers that she delivers with ease. Nothing is forced, in the voice as in the acting, in the impulses as in the most tragic expressions of sadness. ”
