"Tania Lorenzo Castro shines perky and agile in the role of the comforter Belinda."
Urs Mattenberger, Luzerner Zeitung, 10.09.2023
"Tania Lorenzo Castro gives Dido's confidante Belinda with a youthfully fresh, spacious soprano."
Jan Krobot, Onlinemerker, 12.09.2023
Concierto de Abono OFGC | Auditorio Alfredo Kraus
July 2023
"Tania Lorenzo Castro's two performances are worthy of note here, with impeccable voice placement, crystal-clear pronunciation and enviable intonation. Especially in the best-known aria from the second act of the Rapture, Martern aller Arten, where she faced the music and the bravery appropriate to the text."
Roberto Díaz Ramos, La Provincia, 09.07. 2023
Docteur Ox | Luzerner Theater
Juni 2023
"Tania Lorenzo Castro as "Lotsche", the discovery in this season's LT ensemble, acts on the same level."
Andreas Härry, Anzeiger Luzern, 12.06.2023
"Tania Lorenzo Castro as Lotsche in an unbelievable liveliness of voice and movement."
SFR Regionaljournal, 11.06.2023
"The opera ensemble is in top form and clearly enjoys the comedic post for once."
Christoph Brander, Kultur Blog, 11.06.2023
"With the Perky by Tania Lorenzo Castro."
Theodora | International Bach Festival
April 2023
"The cast of international singers was very well chosen. The great canary Tania Lorenzo was in charge of the title role. A lyric-light soprano of pleasing color, homogeneous throughout her tessitura, even in the uncomfortable basses that Händel assigns her, she sang with cleanliness, expressiveness and deliberate phrasing. With restrained ornamentation, she was an exemplary Theodora."
Juan F. Román Rodríguez, Ritmo, 11.04.2023
"Tania Lorenzo Castro, very committed, enjoyed and made us enjoy. With the score practically from memory (something unusual in oratorios interpreted by singers with a thick professional agenda such as hers), the soprano from Gran Canaria dramatized the text and the music in this version, which had no staging, and her large and liquid voice in the mids and treble was well calibrated in technique and style, which showed great knowledge of the baroque style. The prominence of this role, which gives its name to the work, was at the height of its interpretation."

Alcina | Luzerner Theater
March 2023
"A special treat: Tania Lorenzo Castro in the role of Morgana. Circus-ready, she hangs from the hoop - head down, at the same time singing her lines with a clear voice."
Roman Kühne, Luzerner Zeitung, 20.03.2023
"First class also Tania Lorenzo Castro, who convincingly portrayed the character of Alcina's sister Morgana with her voice and charm."
Marinella Polli, Innerschweiz online, 28.03.2023
"As for the soloists, I was particularly impressed by Tania Lorenzo Castro's Morgana, who was touching, even moving, and so credible in her two heart-rending arias 'Credete al mio dolore' & 'Ama, sospira'. A natural ease that leads her to perform graceful and acrobatic figures perched in the void, inside a ring. Absolutely stunning. As a bonus, she gave us a firework display of vocals and variations of her own in the eagerly awaited 'Tornami a vagheggiar'. "
Der Rosenkavalier | Luzerner Theater
January 2023
"They are both adorable, the perky, radiantly singing Tania Lorenzo popping the bubble gum bubble in the face of her father, the nobleman of Faninal (Jason Cox)."
Peter Hagmann, Opernwelt, March 2023
"Tania Lorenzo Castro gives Herr von Faninal's daughter Sophie with a clear, youthfully fresh soprano and stands out from the rest of the ensemble with this stage presence."
Jan Krobot, Online Merker, 27.01.2023
"A special innovation for Tania Lorenzo Castro as Sophie. A wimpy devoted character in many "Rosenkavalier" productions, here in Lucerne she is positioned as a snotty twen with chewing gum, which the petite Spaniard nails vocally and in attitude."
"The vocal level is great throughout the band."
Andréas Härry, Anzeiger Luzern, 23.01.2023
"Tania Lorenzo sings and plays this part stunningly: witty, cheeky, clear as a bell in her intonation, and yet also delicately strung."
Sibylle Ehrismann, Seniorweb, 22.01.2023
BRILLIANT SINGERS
"And the boys rehearse the uprising: the perky, lively Sophie of the blood-young Spanish Tania Lorenzo Castro strips off the silly rococo garb - and stands as today's blonde girlie in T-shirt, shorts and jumper boots."
"With the wonderfully homogeneous female trio of Eyrún Unnarsdótir, Solenn' Lavanant Linke and Tania Lorenzo Castro, however, she also has credible, stunningly youthful singer-actresses from her own ensemble at her disposal who would do credit to any state opera. A sensation, especially since all three. These three singers alone are worth every trip to Lucerne."
Friedemann Leipold, BR-Klassic, 21.01.2023
"Sophie was the petite but more rebellious Tania Lorenzo, endowed with a crystal clear silver voice that easily reached the heights in the presentation of roses."
John H. Müller, Der neue Merker, February 2023
"Vocally perfect Tania Lorenzo Castro, a self-confident, blood-young Sophie in shorts and Chelsea boots."
Marinella Polli, Innerschweiz Online, 07.02.2023
"Tania Lorenzo Castro combines high-altitude glamour with the carefree peakedness of the self-confident teenager."
Urs Mattenberger, Luzerner Zeitung, 22.01.2023
"Tania Lorenzo Castro's Sophie was simply enchanting."
"With an ensemble that is also very happy to engage in acting with a lot of physical activity."

Magallanes. Réquiem in Memoriam | Sanlúcar de Barrameda
September 2022
"The Canarian soprano Tania Lorenzo had a very outstanding performance. I found her voice clear, sweet and with an excellent singing technique. She knew how to overcome a very complicated score, in my opinion, too much time in the treble, with forced sudden descents to the lower registers, without passing through the more cantabile intermediate zone. Very well."
Chasing Waterfalls | Semperoper Dresden

"All strong voices which, however, only get room to unfold selectively."
Dresdner Neuste Nachrichten, 05.09.2022
"Self-created digital images of one's own personality, including playfully researching children (Tania Lorenzo)."

"Soprano Tania Lorenzo's Belinda was incisive and dynamic, showing at all times some exciting singing resources, with a ductile singing line, a wide sound and a suggestive voice, possibly the best of the evening."
The rape of Lucretia | Luzerner Theater
March 2022
"Among the soloists- appart from the four fabulously cast main roles- Tania Lorenzo's vocally and dramatically lively Lucia is partculary striking."
Jürgen Otten - Opernwelt 5/22
"Around Lucretia, her nurse Bianca (Marcela Rahal) and the servant Lucia (Tania Lorenzo) make a strong duo. Lorenzo is not only a lively servant in her acting. Her brightly radiant and very agile soprano also complements Rahal's darker voice perfectly - their duets get under the skin."
"Especially in the ensembles they convince with intimate cooperation and distinctive vocal profiles."
"[...] an ensemble that is almost luxuriously cast, even in the supporting roles. This is especially true of the women's voices, which contribute the fullness of the euphony to Britten's sometimes unwieldy music (as servants: Tania Lorenzo and Marcela Rahal)."
"What is convincing throughout the production are the vocal soloists - as a collective. They all play and sing their roles in an impressive way, proving that they have grown together even more as an ensemble since the start of the new season in the fall. They manage to create an arc of tension throughout the evening; it never gets boring or arbitrary. Whether in the loud, brute passages or the quiet, delicate ones: it is a real pleasure to listen to the singers."
SRF Regionaljournal Zentralschweiz
"Helpless and compassionate Tania Lorenzo as the servant Lucia with a bell-bright soprano."
"All sing so clearly that there is often no need to look at the surtitles and one can fully engage with the intense stage action."
Il trionfo del tempo | Luzerner Theater
December 2021
"Tania Lorenzo rises from the silent lament of the loss of youth and beauty. And she does this with such expressive power that you have to tick rows of words - sublime, melancholic, sublime - on the questionnaire. [...] Then, for example, when the researcher, entrenched behind her façade, loses her composure in the face of the soprano's emotional power."
Le nozze di Figaro | Luzerner Theater
October 2021
"Everything comes together in the soprano Tania Lorenzo: perky playfulness, vocal assertiveness and an emotional intensity whose silver sheen extends effortlessly even over the large, room-filling ensembles [...] The strength of this production in the joy of playing with which the new with which the new ensemble of singers presents itself - with acast".
Luzerner Zeitung, October 31, 2021
"The ensemble inspires with enormous joy of playing and stage presence as well as a consistently excellent understanding of the text [...] Tania Lorenzo is a Susanna as her creators might have imagined: resolute, hands-on and simply lovable".
Online Merker, October 31, 2021
"Well, the young Lucerne ensemble succeeds in an action-packed, captivating performance of a high standard [...] Thus we have the ideal cast for the title role right before our eyes: [...] his chosen one, the maid Susanna, ravishingly sung and played by Tania Lorenzo, is a lively, spirited pretty who can also punch and hiss when she has to defend her rights".
Innerschweiz Online, October 31, 2021
"The soloists of the evening shone with precisely led voices and a clear role profile".
Philipp Zingg, Luzerner Zeitung, October 5, 2021
"The premiere succeeded in an impressive way".

First of all, the women come up trumps. Tania Lorenzo's luminous, slender soprano. Shows her dramatic potential as Susanna also in Britten.
Dido & Eneas, Purcell | Muziekgebouw Amsterdam
Mai 2021
The performance is mainly due to Dido's confidante Belinda, the splendidly clear Tania Lorenzo.
Musically, this production deserves a gold medal anyway. The singing and musicianship are of a high level.

March 2020
There was a very young cast, almost all in their twenties, who vocally and staged their characters without problems, bringing a naturalness and freshness not always within the reach of more veteran singers. [...] The Canarian Tania Lorenzo was an impeccable Giannetta.
Ritmo, Juan Francisco Román Rodríguez, March 11, 2020
Tania Lorenzo, a young local voice, was equally successful in all aspects.

The Requiem was enhanced by the successful participation of the soloists. Tania Lorenzo admirably resolved the Pie Jesu.

1-0 for the girls
Even the two minor characters of Frasquita (Tania Lorenzo) and Mercedes (Stepanka Pucalkova) definitely stole the show from him. They have only short entrances, but they made the most of them. Both gave a very solid, very strong performance and contributed a great part to the success of the evening.

Alongside the first-class Wagner singers previously mentioned, Tania Lorenzo, her soprano voice clear and bell-like, made a strong impression in the smaller role of young shepherd.

A success
Spanish-born Tania Lorenzo (soprano) intoned very sensitively.
The works, which are not so common in the German-speaking world, were interpreted with great sensitivity. Especially with the Debussy song "Apparition" the two artists unfolded a real firework of sound colours.
The second part featured songs by the famous American Charles Ives. Tania Lorenzo also showed her mastery here with adventurously fast text passages.
The selected songs were a joy to the ear, both from the lyrics and the composition, especially since the two artists devoted themselves to the works with great emotionality.

Voices must not be stolen
[...] But if you have an opera to be published with a ten-year-old girl as the main character, then it is an absolute stroke of luck to have a young ensemble with a singer-actress like the Spanish singer Tania Lorenzo at your disposal. She does indeed look girlish, but has such an enchanting soprano that this part seems to be written all over her body and throat. On top of that she can smile winningly. [...]
NMZ online, Michael Ernst, 15 Mai 2018

Recital by Tania Lorenzo
The Canarian soprano gave a magnificent recital. Even in her youth she showed why she was a winner of the First Prize.
Her vocal projection, together with her timbre and her ability to change register, as well as her power and ease in the high register, served to dazzle the audience that attended this new concert.
In the first part, made up of works by Claude Debussy, Reynaldo Hahn, Robert Schumann and Richard Strauss, her qualities as a lyrical soprano stood out, in contrast to the beginning of the second part, with the first two arias, by Gaetano Donizetti the first, as well as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, pieces with a virtuosity almost typical of a light soprano.
In addition to her musical qualities, Tania Lorenzo stood out for her interpretative capacity, which allowed her to adapt to the repertoire with total versatility.
