"Die Sopranistin Maria Palaska drückt mit ihrem kristallklaren leuchtkräftigen Gesang in leidvollen Passagen Trost und Zuversicht aus. Ein Glanzlicht setzt Sie im perfekt abgestimmten Duett mit dem Bassisten Thomas Scharr (Herr dein Mitleid, dein Erbarmen)."
Hans Günther Driess, Nürtinger Zeitung

and Staging of Marco Arturo Marelli

"...die dynamische Maria Palaska als Lisa..."
Nikos Vatopoulos, Kathimerini
"Lisa (M.Palaska) was excellent, I really enjoyed her singing of a role that is pivotal to the dramatic development of the opera. She is in possession of a beautiful soprano voice and sang with great feeling and stamina."
Alexis Spanidis, operattika.gr
Maria was Pamina at the Komische Oper Berlin production and Barrie Koskys staging of the ZAUBERFLÖTE which came to Athens for 2018.
http://www.nationalopera.gr/en/event/o-magikos-aulos-2018/
"Maria Palaska's Pamina is a miracle of eyes as Louise Brooks, with unique easiness, with a strong and absolutely convincing transition from fear and despair, to strength and boldness."
Katerina I. Anesti, Protagon
