"The Irish soprano Sarah Power gave a radiant, word-lively recital of Bellini, Stravinsky, Poulenc, Martin and Strauss […] Her sheer full-hearted
exhuberance of communication doubtless won the jury’s heart."
Hilary Finch, The Times (reporting on the Kathleen Ferrier Singing Competition Final), April 26, 2010
"The final artist of the evening was soprano Sarah Power. For me [...] she was by some way the most promising artist with a large but agile voice and
excellent platform presence. Opening with Ginevra's “Volate, amori” from Act 1 of Ariodante she gave a pretty much faultless performance [...] For her
second aria she gave Morgana's “Credete al mio dolore” from Act 2 of Alcina [...] with some breathtakingly beautiful singing."
Sebastian Petit, Opera Britannia (reporting on the Handel Singing Competition Final), March 6, 2010
"Sarah Power's fresh, clear soprano was meticulously placed in the Pie Jesu."
Michael Drake, Eastern Daily Press, July 14, 2009
"...both John Molloy as the priest and Sarah Power as Alison thoroughly enjoyed playing out their antics and possess beautiful, promising voices."
Wolfgang Marx, Irish Theatre Magazine, June 26, 2009
"...partnered by Sarah Power, whose flowing, unforced singing of Susanna's 'Deh vieni' gave much pleasure."
Margaret Davies, Opera (August 2009 Edition), June 4, 2009
"...Sarah Power really making her presence felt as Pauline..."
Serena Fenwick, Musical Pointers, March 17, 2008
"From Paul Haas-Curievici's moustachioed Station Master to Sarah Power's saucy Pauline, the supporting cast is scintillating...Sometimes champagne
really is the best medicine."
Anna Picard, The Independent, March 16, 2008
"I liked the action-girl Pamina, dressed in T-shirt and shorts, finely sung by Sarah Power and acted with commitment; her aria ‘Ach, ich fuhl’s’ was an
expressive musical peak."
Margaret Davies, Opera (February 2008 Edition), November 22 & 28, 2007
"Happily, on opening night some of the voices were strong enough to sail along with a real gleam of promise. Sarah Power, the dark-toned Pamina,
knew about lyric flow and appeared genuinely upset when matters with Tamino weren’t working out."
Geoff Brown, The Times, November 27, 2007
"The Pamina, Sarah Power...tugged at the heart strings."
Peter Grahame Woolf, Musical Pointers, November 26, 2007
"Sarah Power managed to fulfil...the musical expectations of the role. She sang beautifully, and with considerable animation, touching the heart as well
as stiffening the sinews, and she is assured great success in the future."
Matthew Boyden, Classical Source, November 24, 2007
"On Thursday night, Soprano Sarah Power from Bray, who is currently studying at the exclusive Guildhall School of Music in London, wowed the
crowds."
Bray People, April 19, 2007
"Sarah Power is a bright-voiced young soprano, who studied at the DIT and is another Feis Ceoil winner. Her performances of two Schubert songs were
fresh and attractive, with the guitar accompaniment fitting in well."
