"Rosanne Van Sandwijk a joué avec conviction le rôle de Chérubin, que Patrice Caurier et Moshe Leiser ont particulièrement soigné du point de vue dramatique. Vocalement non seulement elle a fait un sans-faute lors de ses deux morceaux de bravoure, attendus par le public, mais elle a donné les répliques aux chanteurs sur scène avec autorité et bonne connaissance du rôle."
Webtheatre, Mozart, Le Nozze di Figaro, Angers Nantes Opéra, Nantes, March 2017
“[...]tonight’s recital, which threatened to be a disappointment because of the withdrawal of Angelika Kirchschlager, turned out instead to be a stunning occasion. Kirchschlager’s replacement was mezzo soprano Rosanne van Sandwijk[...] Her talent has attracted the attention of no less a musician than Julius Drake who had no hesitation in recommending her to the Festival organisers.

Rosanne van Sandwijk engaged one’s attention from the start […] This was lieder singing at its very finest which encompassed subtle variations in tone without ever straying from the overall clash of hope and despair the work engendered."
