"A mythic soprano with heroic declamation, suave cantilena, delicate fioritura and a huge vocal and emotional range, a poet's feeling for nuance and the staying poet of a triathelete sending the audience into frenzies with her melting cadenzas, impassioned recitatives and floating high notes [as Norma]"..."As Leonora [in Trovatore] Porackova melted hearts with her tender liquescent phrases, her clean fioritura and her blazing high notes."
-Susan Larson,
Boston Globe
"Joanna Porackova is an incredible talent, a wonderful singer AND actress -- a real presence."
-Olympia Dukakis
"It now strikes me as perfect that Joanna Porackova will sing the role of Magda in the Washington Opera's production of Menotti's 'The Consul'.That's a heavy, tragic affair, gut- wrenching--and a frothy soprano could never do it. Remembering her voice when I heard it in New York, I knew she would be well suited to dramatic roles, with just the right mixture of femininity, maturity and power. Her command of the material she undertook was thrilling."
-Hugh Downs
