Ms. Arky’s Non so più instantly reminded me of another MSM Alumna, Susan Graham. She was the comedic hero of the evening, quirky and boyish, but also loving and sexual both in character and in voice when need be…she has a great ability in her voice to sing these types of Mozart and Rossini roles in the way that Ms. Graham, as well as Joyce DiDonato, do so well.” (Cherubino, Le Nozze di Figaro, Manhattan School of Music)

“Both of the vampire’s victims sang so well that I wished they could live longer…As the ill-fated Emmy, Rachel Arky contributed not only expressive phrasing and fine sound, but a convincingly, subtly acted portrayal (alas, her sexual awakening by the vampire is, inevitably, her doom.) Her romance about the dangers of vampires was vividly sung.” (Emmy, Der Vampyr, Liederkranz Opera Theatre)

“Standouts in the community of nuns were Anna Petrie as the monitress and Rachel Arky as the abbess.” (La Badessa, Suor Angelica, Opera Manhattan)
