McGuinness
used gesture and

truth of each song...the well-known "Jota"

as well as I have ever heard it sung." | |

| “...Carmen had some lovely moments with
the opera’s leading characters–... Nanette McGuinness as Micaëla
(a magnetic stage presence and glorious soprano)..." (Ink Notes) | |

"The infamous
Three Ladies [in The Magic Flute], played | |
| by Nanette McGuinness, Nicole Takesono, and Liya Fang | |
| |
were especially sonorous in the first act, each displaying a noteworthy |
| |
and
individual vocal color and
personality."
(Santa Clara Weekly) "...this album [Surviving: Women's Words] offers four passionate meditations on the Holocaust experience delivered through a unique and highly compelling pair of voices, those of both composer and singer." (Examiner.com) ...McGuinness brings admirable diction to her execution... (Examiner.com) "Soprano Nanette McGuinness (accompanied by Dale Tsang on piano and Laura Gaynon on cello) deftly negotiationed Garner's convolutions..." (Examiner.com) "Nanette McGuinness stood out, both for the clarity of her words and for her stamina in the long and difficult part of Nino, Semiramis' son." (The Daily Californian) "Soprano Nanette McGuinness ornamented gloriously in the style of the period [in the Lord Nelson Mass]... (Daily Republic) "Act III [in Pilgrim's Progress] further confirmed that wanton is simply more fun... Virtually all the supporting characters get their opportunity to schtik and shine (well, given the context, maybe simmer is better), including...the knockouts Madam Wanton and Madam Bubble (Nicole Takesono and NanetteMcGuinness)..." (San Francisco Classical Voice) "The wood nymph trios [in Rusalka], sung by Nanette McGuinness, Sara Lamar MacBride, and Dana Anderson-Williams, were animated and beautifully blended, as fine as one would hear from the most affluent companies. Their playful trios, as they tease their father... were like mystical Bohemian versions of the the Rhine maiden trios fromWagner's Ring Cycle operas." (Oakland Tribune) "Nanette McGuinness...[was] a radiant Pamina." (Hokubei Mainichi) "Of a good level, in completing the rest of the cast: the pleasing "Musetta" of Nanette McGuinness ...applause for all." (La Stampa (Italy), trans. McGuinness) "The role of Despina was sung by Nanette McGuinness...She was excellent; her voice is full and with good enunciation." (Valley Times) "With individual singers afforded star-turn solos and then combined in various array, the result was often remarkable in some cases, less so in others. Exemplary of the former[was]....soprano Nanette McGuinness'vibrant 'La Canzone di Doretta' from Puccini's 'La Rondine'." (San Luis Obispo County Telegram-Tribune) "The singing by McGuinness as the daughter...[in Gianni Schicchi] exuded credulity." (Five Cities Times-Press Recorder) "This [Gianni Schicchi] is truly an ensemble piece, and every one of the scheming mourners deserves mention...Nanette McGuinness...: take a bow (San Mateo Times) "Pretty Nanette McGuinness' attractive soprano [in Puccini's Le Villi]..." (Five Cities Times-Press Recorder) "Also excellent are Lisa Edelman, Nanette McGuinness [as Cis], and Edmund Kimbell as the mischievous children [in Albert Herrring]." (Contra Costa Times) "Ms. McGuinness' performance [as Musetta] came well up to my expectations: she was secure, reliable and precise, and interpreted her part in a very convincing way."
