"Soprano Nancy Curtis, with her ample power and thrilling top, soared easily over the full orchestra."
THE SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS
"Soprano Nancy Curtis brought to Samuel Barber's Knoxville: Summer of 1915 and to the solo in the fourth movement of Mahler's Fourth Symphony a versatile instrument, with tone that was both bright and mellow, a consistent sound across all registers and well-controlled vocal transitions.  Portraying childlike characters in both of her appearances, Curtis never resorted to caricature, but made her voice and her face fresh and vulnerable."
THE AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN

"Curtis was the afternoon's biggest hit in the arias How beautiful are the feet of them and I know that my Redeemer liveth".

"Houstonian Nancy Curtis soared authoritatively over the orchestra and chorus at the peaks of the Vaughan Williams."
THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE

"First, soprano Nancy Curtis blew them away when they were least expecting it with the evening's most powerful voice - the role she played, innocent Gilda, is usually sung by a less formidable soprano.... Curtis' cutting power was overwhelming, especially in the slightly stylized aria at the end of the second scene, after which the full house went wild. She has a very giving voice, even in the far reaches of the upper register. And she exercises great control, showing fine, artful phrasing and shaping decisions that show off her thick, rounded tone.... The duets between Honeysucker and Curtis were the ensemble highlight of the evening."
THE NEWS TRIBUNE, Tacoma, WA

""Nancy Curtis' lapidary soprano cut through the hall's acoustical flaws to produce passages of surpassing beauty."
THE AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN

"Curtis was particularly fierce, in the good sense of the word, in the opening work.... She continued to be the best of the quartet throughout the evening."
THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE

"Curtis is certainly aware of this fact, as the brilliance of her upper register is matched by an equally rich lower voice, too often absent in singers of her type. Her warm singing was sensitively accompanied.... Her execution of the short but virtuostic cadenza of the first movement was technically faultless and expressive. ...her final statements were the fullest and most thrilling.... Curtis enlivened both audience and orchestra with her rendering of the final movement's folk poem. ... Curtis' voice and face illustrated the child's view of heaven, full of character, yet never overreaching to histrionics. Her nuanced German, impeccable intonation, and warmly expressive singing ably illustrated the poem's idea that 'no music on earth can compare to ours'."
THE MORNING HERALD, Hagerstown, MD

"Brilliant and biting in the Café Momus tomfoolery of Act II, meltingly warm at Mimi's deathbed in Act IV, Curtis was a paragon of both physical and vocal acting."
THE SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS

"Soprano Nancy Curtis, as Amore, had an appropriately sweet voice in her delivery of the character's radiant passages. She came across as an embodiment of easy grace despite carrying some downy angel wings on her back throughout the evening."
THE WASHINGTON POST

"Ford-Livene and Curtis were overall the best singers.... Curtis had the requisite spitfire personality and vocal technique to prance around confidently."
THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE
