Mark Kanny, Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, 2008

Susanna, Le Nozze di Figaro, 2006 Connecticut Lyric Opera

“Susanna, sung by soprano Deborah Selig, was the star throughout. In ensemble and in arias, her sense of line and nuance were matched only by the sheer beauty of her tone and power of projection.”

Milton Moore, The Day, 2006

Zerlina, Don Giovanni, 2006 Central City Opera

“The three leading ladies all but stole the show on Saturday…Deborah Selig’s Zerlina was sung well, her character emerging as a coquettish waif, easily smitten by          the Don”

Marc Shulgold, Rocky Mountain News, 2006

“What a sexy little minx soprano Deborah Selig makes [Zerlina]…The production is blessed by the presence of three wonderfully talented women…Selig is purely charming, both aurally and visually.”

Juliet Wittman, Wexford News, 2006

Adele, Die Fledermaus, 2006 Dayton Opera

“A truly great performance by the young and beautiful Deborah Selig as Adele…Her voice soared in the famous “Laughing Song.” 

Burt Seidel, Oakwood Register, 2006

Amy, Little Women, 2005 Dayton Opera

“Amy is sung, in professional debut, by Deborah Selig.  She has an expansive voice with remarkable beauty.” 

Burt Saidel, Oakwood Register, 2005

“Deborah Selig’s Amy transformed from a self-interested child to a loving young woman.”

Carol Simmons, Dayton Daily News, 2005

Zerlina, Don Giovanni, 2006 Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music

“Deborah Selig was absolutely stunning as the peasant bride Zerlina. Her “Vedrai carino,” comforting the beaten Masetto, was winning for its genuine charm, and one of the evening’s most delightful moments.”

Janelle Gelfand, Cincinnati Enquirer, 2006

Marion, The Music Man, 2005 Chautauqua Opera

“An unexpected treat for Wednesday’s audience was the performance of Deborah Selig as Marion, the famed librarian.  The role was announced to be performed by Rebecca Baxter, but Ms. Baxter injured her back and was unable to perform.  Ms. Selig stepped in at the last moment, and performed with wonderful presence and visible confidence, including acting, singing, and dancing.”

Robert W. Plyler, The Post Journal, 2005

Mary Warren, The Crucible, 2005 Chautauqua Opera

“Soprano Deborah Selig in the important role of Mary Warren sang strongly”

Robert Finn, Chautauquan Daily, 2005

Soprano Soloist, Górecki 3rd Symphony, 2004 Kentucky Symphony Orchestra

“The concert was a beauty in every way… Selig -- a graduate student at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music -- spun a pure-toned, taut line as Mary entreats her son to share his wounds…Selig investing her low notes with earthy emotion.”

Mary Ellyn Hutton, Cincinnati Post, 2004

Susanna, Le Nozze di Figaro, 2003 Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music

“Selig made a striking Susanna, emanating sweet purity while projecting a luscious lyric voice. Her Act IV aria, "Deh vieni, non tardar," was a breathtaking moment.”

Janelle Gelfand, Cincinnati Enquirer, 2003
