"Tanya Roberts as Mrs. Sowerberry bursts with energy that benefits all of the actors who perform with her. They both spring the show forward with their physical comedy and lively singing."
— Belle Frahm, Utah Theatre Bloggers Association (OLIVER, Mrs. Sowerberry, Utah Festival Opera & Musical Theatre, 2023)
“Especially worth catching was cruise director Tanya Roberts, whose show mixing operatic bits and pieces with Broadway standards was a showcase for her astonishing vocal talent.”
— Tom Steighorst, Travel Weekly (“An Evening Experience with Tanya Roberts”, Explora Journeys, 2023)
“But what really makes this show… is the return of soprano Tanya Roberts to center stage… Roberts cements her reputation as a stellar vocalist and all-around fascinating stage presence…”
— Tami Mosser, The Daily Record (MUSIC IN THE AIR, Frieda Hatzfeld, The Ohio Light Opera, 2019
“…a stellar cast lead by the ebullient Tanya Roberts… Ms. Roberts is a gifted comedienne who infused the farce with a romantic believability… and infuses the whole production with elegance.”
— Kelly Ferjutz, CoolCleveland (The title role in COUNTESS MARITZA, The Ohio Light Opera, 2017)
“Canadian soprano Tanya Roberts embodied the character and all her complexity quite wonderfully in arguably the standout performance of the night… she always demanded the viewers’ attention… her voice soared into the soprano stratosphere with a tremendous sense of poise and prowess…”
– David Salazar, OperaWire (EILEEN, Lady Maude, Victor Herbert Renaissance Project, 2017)
“Tanya Roberts is a gem as Dolly Brabazon. Her gesturing alone as she enters and exits is hysterical. She takes every nuance, movement, lyric and word and makes it exactly, enchantingly and hilariously her own.”
— Ellen Pill, Wooster Weekly News (HAVE A HEART, Dolly Brabazon, The Ohio Light Opera, 2016)
“And speaking of comedy, keep your eye on Tanya Roberts as the German glove maker Gabrielle… Roberts, hysterical though she is, is the type of singer you quite possibly could listen to all day, even if she’s just singing about gloves and shoes. Roberts’s contributions to the finales… leave the audience breathless.”
– Tami Mosser, The Daily Record (LA VIE PARISIENNE, Gabrielle, The Ohio Light Opera, 2016)
