‘The most impressive individual performance of all came from Valda Wilson, whose Rosina was a gem of graceful young motherhood at its most tender and loving and who sang with great beauty and commitment.’

David Gyger, Opera~Opera review of La vera costanza, Haydn.

‘Wilson possesses a beautiful bel canto style with a noble tone and good articulation that suited Handel’s Non disperar chi sa from Giulio Cesare. The judges asked her to sing Mozart’s Se il padre perdei from Idomeneo, which demonstrated a good legato in the difficult, speedy phrasing and a beautiful, bell-like resonance in the upper register.’

- John Slavin, The Australian, 7/5/08
