"Batty operetta hits heights."(Die Fledermaus, Rosalinda)

"This Viennese confection may be the strongest TOT production to date." Paula Citron, Globe & Mail.

"... Soprano Kinga Mitrowska (Rosalinda) has a huge voice that should lead to an important career." Globe & Mail.

"... the forceful Mitrowska, contributed powerfully and temperamentally to duets and particularly with "Voice Of My Homeland." Geoff Chapman, The Toronto Star.

"As soon as I heard the rich warm bottom of Kinga Mitrowska's voice, I could hardly wait for Rosalinda's Csardas. She gave it and exuberant performance." Rita Ubriaco, The Chronicle Journal.

"Yet a full house at Jane Malett Theatre was rescued from discontent just before the first break, with the arrival of Kinga Mitrowska playing the gypsy girl Saffi..." Geoff Chapman, The Toronto Star.

"Composer Strauss, who brought the waltz to rhythmic and lyricals perfection with sweeping melodies and ear for orchestral detail, surely would have applauded Mitrowska's aria "None Braver, None So True." a fiercely emotional delivery that kindled flames among her large cast of colleagues. Thus began a virtually new performance where words like charm, vivacity and sophistication could genuinely be used." Geoff Chapman, The Toronto Star.

"Kinga Mitrowska decided to exercise her amazing ability of finding even the highest note with a total sureness, no wavering, no sneaking up to it. She hits it right on, crystal clear and without vibrato. It is quite apparent that she has played a lot of big European houses, where big voices are perhaps more familiar than here. It was a real pleasure to hear her again and see her elegant appearance on the stage."Sybille Forster-Rentmeister, The Sound Of Music In York.

"...the tragic story of Violetta unfolded with Kinga Mitrovska in the lead. Without a doubt this role of Violetta is one of the most demanding parts for any soprano, asking for great strength and pianissimos, incredible heights and mellow lows, coloratura bravado and tender, wispy tones. A vast gamut of emotion has to be portrayed and made believable or the story of Violetta becomes a soap opera. All this and more was delivered with extraordinary clarity by Ms. Mitrovska, resplendent in two different gowns, sounding better than ever."Sybille Forster-Rentmeister, The Sound Of Music In York.
