As Rosalinde in Strauss's DIE FLEDERMAUS, San Francisco Opera, September, 2006

"Heading a fine cast was soprano Christine Goerke, making a powerhouse debut as Rosalinde. This was a riveting performance, marked by brilliant silvery tone, billowing melodic phrases and flawless comic timing; that the singer is in an advanced stage of pregnancy only added to the audience's admiration."
—Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle

As Donna Elvira in Mozart's DON GIOVANNI, Metropolitan Opera, March 2004

"In this terribly difficult role the young soprano Christine Goerke finally has the major Met success that has been due her ... as Elvira she won bravos galore for navigating the leaps and bounds of the vocal lines with fearless confidence and singing the lyrical outpourings with tenderness and, more importantly, nobility, lending the character the dignity that is often missing."
—Anthony Tommasini, The New York Times
