“Mezzo-soprano Amanda Fink's fiery upper range and luxuriously fluent coloratura in Rossini's ever popular 'Una voce poco fa,' Rosina's cavatina from The Barber of Seville, brought well-deserved cheers.”

Ken Herman, San Diego Story

“The voice and portrayal that jumped out at me ...was Amanda Fink’s Cherubino. The madcap lad was brilliantly drawn with subtleties of vocal inflection and acting that made her’s one of the best Cherubinos I’ve ever laid ears or eyes on.”

Hugh Fraser, OPERA CANADA, 2017

“Amanda Fink was inspired in the trouser role of the hormone-raged Cherubino.”

Mike Telin, CLEVELANDCLASSICAL.COM, 2017

“Amanda Fink, this diminutive mezzo as the overly-testosterone-ed young man steals every scene she’s (he’s) in. The changing-outfits bit where Rosina & Susanna decide to dress Cherubino as a girl was staged as pure slapstick and was a highlight moment.”

Danny Gaisin, ONTARIO ARTS REVIEW, 2016

“The Benedictus, sung by soloists Laura Choi Stuart, Amanda Fink, Ian McEuen and Kwang-Kyu Lee — was transporting.”

Cecelia H. Porter, THE WASHINGTON POST, 2016
