Review - Susanna in Le Nozze di Figaro
Seattle Opera
[...] Most notable was soprano Laura Tatulescu in the demanding role of Susanna, the feisty, adorable, intelligent chambermaid who conspires with Figaro and the Countess to humble the arrogant, philandering Count. Tatulescu proved herself a supremely talented comedic actor and singer. [...]

Konzerhaus Berlin, Saisoneröffnung
[...] Laura Tatulescu ist eine bezaubernde Susanna, um die sich der Graf, Figaro und nicht zuletzt das Publikum reißen. Man muss sie ganz einfach lieben, was der gewitzte Mozart schon immer wusste [...]

Glyndebourne Festival
[...] Laura Tatulescu was a formidably feisty Susanna; she kicked, screamed, slapped and raged yet her acting skill failed to dim a sensationally clear and powerful soprano which soared mellifluously above the orchestral score [...]
Sussex Express - 11 June 2013
[...] But it is Laura Tatulescu who steals the evening with a feisty Susanna, full of energy in both her singing and her physical presence on stage [...]
thelatest.co.uk - 8 June 2013
[...] Tatulescu’s Susanna is outstanding, witty, personable, agile-voiced but able to flood with warmth at the right moment, which “Deh vieni” certainly is, even though its passion – so typically of Mozart – is spurious, fed by anger [...]

Financial Times - 10 June 2013

Kurier - Wien
Wo beginnen? Vielleicht mit der neuen, plötzlich angesetzten Susanne, die – eine in den USA geborene Rumänin – in der Staatsopernzeitschrift gleich einen zweiseitigen Artikel zum Einstand bekam. Laura Tatulescu ist unglaubliche 25 Jahre jung und war eine Susanne, die einmal an meine beiden Lieblingsinterpretinnen (Reri Grist und Ileana Cotrubas, lang, lang ist’s her) herausreichen könnte – sie hat die Statur für die Rolle, den Glockenklang mit Seelenton und den Instinkt, die unglaubliche Vielschichtigkeit dieser Figur zu spielen – die Verliebtheit in Figaro, die Verlockung durch Cherubin, den Weibchen-Instinkt, sich gegen den Grafen zu wehren, den Grimm über die letztendliche Wehrlosigkeit von Frauen ihres Standes inbegriffen, die weibliche Loyalität der Gräfin gegenüber… Es scheint, als ob diese junge Sängerin die Erfahrung von hundert Susannen-Abenden hinter sich hätte, so sicher steht sie in der Rolle und auf der Bühne.
