What the critics are saying.

"La Future Diva.." An enchanting recital with soprano Venicia Rasmussen. She was absolutely perfect in the title role of Tosca and her extremely expressive voice was wonderful in Puccini’s most famous opera excerpts. The Italian repertoire with Rossini and Puccini is handwritten for Venicia.
La Nef, Dernières Nouvelles D`Alsace magazine, concert in Wissembourg Relais Culturel, 2019
A talent like Ms. Rasmussen can indeed be described as absolutely exceptional, unusual and rare. Vocally absolutely outstanding, stylistically astonishingly versatile, intuitive musicality and linguistic talent. In addition, essential for the stage, there is an innate theatrical, acting talent, enormous joy in playing, and, the rare gift that cannot be taught, a distinct and unmistakable personality, both artistic and human.
Harald Braun, conductor and accompanist · Stabat Mater, Pergolesi, Karlsruhe, 2017
For example, there is Venicia Rasmussen as the ambitious Poppea: her soprano is pure temptation, her lustful sighs are wonderful, and she underlines the entire artificiality of the character with appropriate gestures that are closely aligned with the music.
Christine Gehringer, PAMINA Klassik · L´incoronazione di Poppea, Karlsruhe, December 8, 2015
Ms. Rasmussen impresses with her outstanding voice, with which she can master even the highest tones with clarity and without effort. She is certainly one of the best in her field.
Hartmut Mende, conductor · Oratorio de Noël, Camille Saint-Saëns, Sinzheim, December 18, 2016
