What the critics said...
 of her Costanza in Haydn's' L’ISOLA DISABITATA
[Semi-staged Performance]
at the Bamberger Symphoniker:

This L’isola disabitata…featured a young cast headed by star [mezzo-]soprano Vivica Genaux as moody big sister Constanza... …[This Haydn opera] is the highlight of this year’s Summer Nights Festival”
 - Shirley Apthorp, The Financial Times, July 14, 2024

of her Antiope in Vivaldi's ERCOLE SUL TERMODONTE
[Concert Performance with Europa Galante]
at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées:

The presentation at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées brilliantly bypasses the typical pitfalls [of performing Vivaldi’s operas]. With a distribution of voices of such high quality, the evening was dominated by [mention of Philippe Jaroussky,] the virtuosity of the American mezzo-soprano Vivica Genaux, [mention of Roberta Invernizzi and Romina Basso]. The inherent vocal challenges were expertly realized by the cast...
 - Antonin Durand, France-Soir, February 1, 2025

at the Konzerthaus in Vienna, Austria:

...at his [conductor Fabio Biondi’s] side an almost impeccable group of soloists: Vivica Genaux portrays the Amazon queen with a most characterful mezzo voice.
 A.U., Wiener Zeitung, January 27, 2025
The Amazons, Vivica Genaux (Antiope) and Emanuela Galli (Orizia), vented their vocal wrath with great fury.”
 - Walter Weidringer, Die Presse (Vienna), January 26, 2009.

in Cracow, Poland:
Among the opera’s Amazon characters, special mention must be given to the proud, stylish Antiope of Vivica Genaux.”
 - Jacek Hawryluk, Polskie Radio/Gazeta.pl, January 26, 2025

Of her Teologia in Scarlatti's Santissima Trinita:
- at the Scarlatti Festival 2003, with Europa Galante
“Among the cast, both the valiant [Roberta] Invernizzi and Vivica Genaux caused a sensation. The latter's assured intonation, polished lower register and clear articulation of even the most intricate passages are certainly no surprise; in addition, she boasts Italian diction which most native singers might envy. Both Genaux and [Laura] Polverelli, who did not take part in the opera, deserve special praise for their good will in keeping an engagement which, due to funding bottlenecks, seemed uncertain until the last minute.“
 - Carlo Vitali, Andante.com, October 2003

-at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées -Paris, with Europa Galante
“Theology was sung by the dusky and virtuoso-voiced Vivica Genaux.”
 - Jacques Doucelin, Le Figaro, October 15, 2024
