Cosi fan tutté, OPERA COLORADO
“A clear standout as Fiordiligi is Nicolle Foland, a soprano who also impressed in Central City Opera’s 2006 production of “The Coronation of Poppea.” She tackles the role’s famous coloratura demands with commendable naturalness and ease.”
Denver Post
Le nozze di Figaro, UTAH OPERA
“Soprano Nicolle Foland as the Countess is superb. With a voice that’s beautifully expressive and dramatic, she presents a regal countess who is, behind her facade, all too human. Her two arias, “Porgi amor” and “Dove sono,” …were utterly mesmerizing. This role is tailor made for her vocal and acting talents.”

Le Roi Arthus, AMERICAN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
“…while the three principal singers—Andrew Schroeder, Hugh Smith, and Nicolle Foland—sang with the commitment and expressive fire that is precisely what this gorgeous music requires.”
New York Magazine
Carmen, NEW YORK CITY OPERA
“Nicolle Foland sang Micaela’s music sweetly and with an air of innocent devotion, which is everything one needs in a Micaela.”
New York Times
Otello, KENTUCKY SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
“…brava for soprano Nicolle Foland, a Desdemona of rare vocal (and physical) beauty.”
Cincinnati Post
Alceste, OPERA BOSTON
“Nicolle Foland was a splendid Alceste, her strong lyric soprano cleanly produced from top to bottom, with ringing high attacks and many subtle musical touches gracefully executed. Looking rather like the young Gloria Swanson, Foland acted wtih commendable animation, expression, and dignity—an already solid career to watch with increased interest.”
Opéra International
L’incoronazione di Poppea, CENTRAL CITY OPERA
“Other notable performances…include that of Nicolle Foland, who possesses a lovely, dextrous soprano voice. She offers a touching turn as Drusilla…”
The Denver Post
Recital, Music at Meyer series, San Francisco
“In a program of music by Marx, Schubert, Debussy, and Ives…the soprano sang with a beguiling blend of tonal beauty, technical polish and sheer communicative power.”
