“Filling out the fine cast…. mezzo-soprano Erin Neff as the Kiki, the Valley Girl filly who pulls Gloria’s celestial chariot.”

Thomas Busse, SFCV
La Cenerentola:
“Erin Neff may have run away with the production. She was adorably comic as Tisbe and [has] a lovely warm mezzo voice.”
San Francisco Classical Voice
Il Barbiere di Siviglia:
“Neff sang with richness of timbre and elegance of interpretation in Rossini’s “The Barber of Seville,”

Cosi fan tutte:
“Mezzo Erin Neff displayed a flair for physical comedy, rendering Dorabella’s tongue-twisting arias with verve and skill.”
Ching Chang, San Francisco Classical Voice
Le nozze di Figaro:
“Her voice rings with a subtle delicacy and clarity in the trouser role as the lovesick page Cherubino. Neff poignantly renders her love songs, leavening the opera with innocent airs and the hopes and idealism of teen love.”
Tod Rasmussen, The Reporter
“Erin Neff, adept at comedy, is also a captivating singer…’Voi che sapete’ is especially touching and funny.”
Marilyn Mantay, Daily Republic Correspondent

C J. Gianakaris, The Grand Rapids Press
Powerful voices bring Janacek’s Gypsy drama to life Alban Berg ‘Sieben Fruher Lieder’
“…striking, powerful voice in Erin Neff…Neff sang of a Gypsy’s life being ‘moved along and hunted off.’ Her throaty mezzo-soprano voice was perfect, tinged with a bit of mischievousness, to seduce the farm boy.”
Alban Berg ‘Sieben Fruher Lieder’
“With poised radiance and an immediate ability to gather her listeners from concert hall chair to a musical portal of cathedral and watercolor, mezzo soprano Erin Neff climbed inward along the melodic lines of “Sieben Fruhe Lieder” (Alban Berg) and taught her listeners, luxury.”
