"Victoria Karkacheva’s Charlotte … embodied this same élan. Endowed with a majestic, wide‑ranging vocal range, the Russian mezzo portrayed Charlotte as strong and impetuous." - Première Loge "Beautiful timbre, with full centres and well‑timed treble rise." -

"In the big confrontation–love scene, Russian mezzo-soprano Victoria Karkacheva (Charlotte) sang with great beauty and just the right amount of vulnerability while American tenor Russell Thomas’ Werther was ardent, his high notes on occasion thrilling"

"Karkacheva is remarkable because of the seeming ease with which she fills the house with her warm, full and confident soprano."
