(The Virginian-Pilot)

The young, multi-award winner, Lisa Marie Rogali has a beautiful instrument, lovely lows that can soar thrillingly... I felt that her excellent acting skills allowed her to not only hit the notes, but to play with them in a seductive manner like a Carmen might do. I was captivated."

(Opera Gene)

“Mezzo-Soprano Lisa Marie Rogali’s range was not only impressive, but her ability to have tonal fullness and brilliance through the entirety of the performance was truly exceptional.

(Chatham Life & Style)

(Triangle Sings)

(Wall Street Journal)

“Among the singers getting just a few minutes before the public, mezzo Lisa Marie Rogali made a strong impression in the trouser role of Stéphano, Roméo’s page, delivering her third act “Que fais-tu, blanche tourterelle?” with gusto and mellifluous phrasing, while her acting was full of youthful élan.”

(Bachtrack)

(Good News Planet)

“Mezzo-soprano Lisa Rogali has a true mezzo sound that was just right for Rosina's aria "Una voce poco fa" from Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia. We heard some more than usually interesting embellishments of the vocal line, all successfully negotiated.”

(Voce Di Meche)

"Among those he encounters along the way, standouts include Lisa Marie Rogali, whose vivacious coloratura and ready-for-anything character actor instincts are used to great effect as a princess in a nightmarish bedtime story and a joyously scavenging dog.”

(StarTribune)

“While it would seem there’s no time for showstoppers in a show of this pace, Lisa Marie Rogali comes pretty darn close. As the bride experiencing a confounding itinerant wedding reception, she must periodically pause to ponder her commitment to this man, and Rota gives her the opera’s most beautiful music to do it. Rogali makes each aria transporting, her pure, nuanced voice touching hearts while the rest of the opera tickles your funny bone.”

(Pioneer Press)

"As the bride, made to traipse all about Paris after her hat-seeking husband, Lisa Marie Rogali sings sweetly... She does a fine job expressing her conflicted emotions between romantic love and the ordeal of her run-amok wedding day."

(Talkin’ Broadway)

“Lisa Marie Rogali (as Elena)’s beautifully rendered duet “Trema nell’estasi d’amor” / “Oh si…è gioia” with Steson/Fadinard was one of the highlights of the opera.”

(Twin Cities Arts Reader)

“The beautiful bride Elena, Lisa Marie Rogali, centers this comedy with a young woman who has little control on her wedding day, dashed between her domineering father and nowhere to be found groom. Rogali draws the attention to her innocence and true love when she sings together with Stenson's Fardinard in ebullient affection.”

(Broadway World)

“The standout among the other cast members was Lisa Marie Rogali, who was a fizzy, thoroughly charming Lisette from the opening party scene to her chastened return to Magda's household at the end. Her Act I rouser, "Un momento, scusi ecco," is a tour de force of diction, precision and pizzazz.” (Opera News)

“Lisa Marie Rogali’s mischievous Lisette sparkled with spontaneity and was sung vibrantly. Beside her the Prunier of Christian Sanders cut a raffish figure, and their interplay lit the stage in its three-dimensionality.”
