The concert "From the Lord of the Rings to the Fairyland in the North - sounds from a magical world":
"Siv Oda sang so beautifully that it was an affliction to wait with the applause until the concert was over"
Jan Olav Ingvaldsen, Avisa Nordland, 16.06.2008. Full review here.
"With mezzo-soprano Siv Oda Hagerupsen, Ragnhild Hansen/flute, Lene Buvik/violin and Ralph Creedy/keyboard Saturday evening, this was an exceptionally good journey. (...) She has all reasons to be smiling, after having seduced a crowded inn and led them to the land of dreams. (...) One cannot help being impressed by the powerful voice of Hagerupsen."
Tarjei Abelsen, Saltenposten, 17.06.2008. Full review here.
Verdi's "Requiem", with Opera Nordfjord on tour:
"In the Lacrymosa-part (...) do we experience the qualities of the mezzo-soprano. Sensitive and beautiful! (...) In Lux Aeterna (...) the mezzo-soprano and the bass impress and fascinate us."
Magne I. Våge, Sunnmørsposten, 16.02.2010. Full review here.
Bizet's "Carmen". Flagstad-Festival, Hamardomen:
"Intense and heartfelt meeting with Carmen. (...) To Paul Curran, artistic director of the Norwegian National Opera, Kirsten Flagstad means quality. And that the Festival named after her also aims to be a festival of high-class, was emphasized by the opening performance, with a crowded audience in Hamardomen Thursday evening. (...) The relationship between Carmen (Siv Oda Hagerupsen) and Don José (Thomas Ruud) is passionate. From the stage in Hamardomen they kept the audience's attention all through the nearly two-hour long performance."
Hanne Maren Torpen Hokstad, Hamar Arbeiderblad, 18.06.2010. Full review here and here.
"Carmen (Siv Oda Hagerupsen) was warm, and is a good mezzo-soprano to listen to. (...) It is dramatic. It is good. It is opera."
Elisabeth C. K. Reitan, Festivalmagasinet, 20.06.2010.
