"Oh, lest I forget.  A rather clever and gratuitous bit of self advertisement occurred during the Orlovsky party in which Jessica Renfro...sang the Habanera.  She was provocative, sexy and vocally outstanding, capturing all the earthiness, drama and sensual nuance of this aria.  I certainly am intrigued to see how Ms. Renfro fares over the course of the entire opus."

                                                --John Hammel, Mozart to Motorhead Radio Show (December 2010)

"...Jessica Renfro, a physical beauty with a voice to match..."

"Mezzo-soprano Jessica Renfro is one of those rare talents equally adept at singing roles comical and naive...or steamy and seductive... She reaches soprano for Mozart's C Minor Mass as blithely as dropping to alto for Pergolesi's Stabat Mater--which, of course, made her an ideal choice for Saturday's program."

            --Norman Holly, Korea Monitor (April 2010)

"Jessica Renfro as Romeo was the Ferrari on stage... alert and quick in her acting, and superb as a singer in a role Bellini draped with opportunities for solo excellence.  At times Renfro left her audience almost breathless with admiration as she breathed life into her character and spun melodies into charismatic suggestion."

                                                --Mark J. Estren The Washington Post, (June 2007)

“In the non-rotating trouser role of Cherubino, the trouble-causing page, Jessica Renfro was a standout, matching a sparkling voice with a surprising talent for physical comedy.”
