The New Group - The Music Teacher: A Play/Opera Librettist Shawn provides lyrics that beautifully mimic what might be a teenager's attempts at high art, and theatergoers will find that the awkwardness of the writing in the opera to be the highpoint of the charm in "Teacher," particularly given Sarah Wolfson's beautifully sung and endearingly earnest performance as one of Smith's students.

The INSeries – Don Giovanni “ ... A fresh, young, well-trained voice... Ms. Wolfson gives one of the best performances as a sexy, sympathetic Zerlina; [she] produces the evening’s most show-stopping moment when she rips off her wedding gown at the climax of La ci darem” The Washington Post, 2003
The Florida Grand Opera – An Evening of Marc Blitzstein “Yet it was Sarah Wolfson who proved most impressive among the ensemble... The petite soprano made a quietly vicious Regina confronting her husband Horace in the dramatic excerpts from the play... her bright resplendent voice soared in the “Rain quartet”, and she brought keen dramatic point and intensity to her climatic scenes. Wolfson’s touching performance of the anthemic “I’m going away” compared favorably with that heard at the opera the previous evening.” Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, 2002
Wolf Trap Opera – Le Nozze di Figaro “Barbarina, affectingly sung by soprano Sarah Wolfson, has one of the most haunting little bits in the entire opera which suggests a young woman who craves exactly the sexual energies that the other characters are so assiduously trying to deflect” The Washington Post, 2001
Wolf Trap Opera – Le Nozze di Figaro “... Hyperactive soprano Sarah Wolfson brings a welcome dose of petulance and bravado to the usually wimpy role of Barbarina.” The Washington Times, 2001
The Juilliard Opera Center – Armide “... As (one of Armide’s) attendants, Sarah Wolfson was especially a pleasure to see and hear” Opera News, 2000
