"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 Angelike 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."
 
Seen and Heard International, Chipping Campden Festival, Recital with Julius Drake, May 2016
“Von doppelten Continuo-Gruppen begleitet, entfalten darin die Sänger kraftvoll ihre Kunst. Allen voran Rosanne van Sandwijk als vielbrüstige wenn auch durchaus jugendlich wirkende Göttermuter Cybèle. Zunächst noch zuruckhältend, entfaltet ihr feiner Mezzosopran im Überschwang der Gefühle grosse Farbigkeit und Fülle.”
Opernwelt, about the role of Cybèle in Lully’s Atys at Theater Kiel, November 2014
"Besonder eindrucksvoll gelingt Rosanne van Sandwijk als Cybèle der Wechsel zwischen statischer Göttergestik und emotionaler Erschütterung. Dabei setz sie ihren konturiert geführten Mezzosopran zunächts fast diskret ein und lässt ihn im Sog der Tragödie dann immer machtvoller aufblühen".
Kieler Nachrichten, about the role of Cybèle in Lully’s Atys at Theater Kiel, October 2014
"Rosanne van Sandwijks Cybèle war durchdringend wie schauspielerisch und stimmlich beeindruckend autoritär".
Operapoint, about the role of Cybèle in Lully’s Atys at Theater Kiel, October 2014
"Rosanne van Sandwijk gestaltet die Partie der Cybèle stimmlich und darstellerisch mit großer Dramatik".
Online Musik Magazine, about the role of Cybèle in Lully’s Atys at Theater Kiel, October 2014

"Heike Wittlieb und Rosanne van Sandwijk legen als Alice Fluth und Margaret Reich hinreißende Raffinesse an den Tag"

Shz. De, about the role of Frau Reich in Otto Nicolai’s Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor at Theater Kiel, March 2014

"The only famous aria of the oratorio, “Es ist vollbracht!” , beautifully accompanied by a viola da gamba, was movingly sung by Dutch alto Rosanne van Sandwijk"
