” La Nef, Dernières Nouvelles D`Alsace magazine, concert in Wissembourg Relais Culturel, 2019
"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, 2019
Through her enthusiasm, her virtuosity, her credibility and her artistry, the soprano managed to sweep the audience off their feet. The enthusiastic audience thanked the soprano with long standing applause.
” La Nef, Dernières Nouvelles D`Alsace magazine, 2019
With her powerful and multifaceted voice, she opened this song evening with an excerpt from Carmen, which she interpreted with great skill and great dedication.

When she interpreted "Les Ariettes oubliées" (Claude Debussy), the audience was transported to another atmosphere, with her glorious quality of singing.
” Harald Braun, conductor and accompanist · Stabat Mater, Pergolesi, Karlsruhe, 2017
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.
” Claudia Wößner, Wormser Zeitung · Nibelungen Festival in Worms, August 2017
Venicia Sandria radiates, she is charged with positive energy. A power woman..
” Thomas Tritsch, Bergsträsser Anzeiger · Opern Air concert in Bensheim, June 26, 2017
Venicia Sandria Rasmussen sang Pamina’s aria "Ach ich fühl´s" with lovely sounding emphasis and bright colors in the warm middle range. Her natural soprano filled the sunlit state park.
” Thomas Tritsch, Bergsträsser Anzeiger · Opern Air concert in Bensheim, June 26, 2017
Venicia performed the aria of Violetta from La Traviata with a confident and dramatically colored soprano, which remained in a pleasant timbre right up to the highs. The piece was pure emotion.
” Christine Gehringer, PAMINA Klassik · L´incoronazione di Poppea, Karlsruhe, December 8, 2015
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.
” Wissembourg Relais Culturel
Venicia did it with excellence until the final note held in the firmament, triggering an ovation from the audience.
” Hartmut Mende, conductor · Oratorio de Noël, Camille Saint-Saëns, Sinzheim, December 18, 2016
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.
” Dr. Ernst H. Kohlhage, founder of the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden, December 2016
It was a very nice and atmospheric concert, and I liked the little blonde soprano the best. The concert was impressive.
” Beatrix Ottmüller, Badische Neueste Nachrichten · Christmas Oratorio, Saint-Saëns, December 20, 2016
The soprano voice sings as an angel from the gallery and so the sound carries through the entire nave. A beautiful effect.
