“Celine Mogielnicki delivered a stunning aria as Milica, signifying her transition into womanhood. At the end of the opera, Mogielnicki gives a long and haunting aria.. In it, her voice is stunningly powerful and strong. It filled the entire space of the theater with its rich sound. The piece was sung calmly and steadily, and yet, with an undercurrent of something that was wondering and mournful and hopeful all at once.”
Svadba (Ana Sokolovic)- Baltimore Theater Project (The News-Letter, Johns Hopkins Press, Helena Gifford)
“The Wonder Here is that the four principles- Sopranos Chloe Olivia Moore and Celine Mogielnicki, Tenor Derrek Stark and Baritone Isaac Bray are not already under contract to some famous opera company… soprano mogielnicki has a similarly impressive projection but with a more robust quality that suits her role as the flirtatious, somewhat pugnacious, musetta”
La Boheme, Bar Harbor Music Festival ( The Mount Desert Islander, Nan Lincoln)
“Mogielnicki sings with such enthusiastic ardor that she communicates the pleasure of song with authority”
“Her German appeared perfect in diction and phrasing as she filled the library with powerful gradations of emotion, whether of love or nostalgia, seemingly free of the intense technique required.”
