LA FINTA GIARDINIERA - New York City Opera
"Mezzo Sandra Piques Eddy was for three quarters of the time a dashing, hotly-sexed Ramiro, then calmed down for a gently warm account of ‘Dolce d’amor compagna’"

"Mezzo Sandra Piques Eddy sang splendidly in the pants role of Ramiro."

"But the true lights of the production …. Sandra Piques Eddy as Ramiro, who is lithe and athletically vocal in her role as a feminine young man.

"Sandra Piques Eddy was a lively Ramiro, her chocolaty mezzo possessing lovely,warm undertones."

"The cast is rounded out by mezzo soprano Sandra Piques Eddy giving a superb, boyish performance in the pants role of Cavalier Ramiro." 

"Sandra Eddy (Ramiro) was demonstrably an audience favorite with the pleasing, unforced tone of her high mezzo voice."

"..and talented mezzo Sandra Piques Eddy a flashy and very promising Ramiro."

LAKME - Spoleto Festival USA
"Sandra Piques Eddy stood out as a rich-voiced Mallika."

"Exquisitely sung by Petrova in the title role and Sandra Piques Eddy as her serving woman, the ‘Flower Duet’ expresses the passionate nature of India in contrast to the pragmatic nature of the British who stumble into Lakme’s sacred grove."

"As Lakme’s servent Mallika, mezzo Sandra Piques Eddy stood out as a wonderful vocal compliment, particularly when her voice intertwined with Petrova’s in the famous Act 1 ‘Flower duet’."

"More subtle was my favorite, Act 1’s ‘Flower Duet’ with its smooth blending of Petrova’a voice with the splendid mezzo-soprano Sandra Piques Eddy who sang Mallika."

"A good deal of credit must go to…the strong supporting cast-especially Alain Foundary as Lakme’s father, and J. Austin Bitner and Sandra Piques Eddy as servants.  They are not only great singers but great actors."

LA FINTA GIARDINIERA – Florida Grand Opera
"Sandra Piques Eddy, who was striking as the Page of Herodias in the recent Salome, is an even more arresting presence in the much more expansive role of Ramiro.  Her full-bodied penetrating mezzo-soprano voice and gutsy act makes this "pants part" her own."

"Eddy was a brilliant cavalier, with dashing stage presence and bright expressive singing…"

"As the cavalier Ramiro, Eddy was a fiery, richly sung presence, delivering a clarion Se l’augellin sen fugge." 

"Sandra Piques Eddy’s rapturous mezzo"

LA TRAVIATA – New York City Opera
"Sandra Piques Eddy also made an excellent impression as Flora:  luscious of voice, looking good and moving well."
