“Sandra Piques Eddy, as the Messenger who brings the news of Eurydice’s death and as Hope, sang with extraordinary richness of timbre and expressiveness.
The Boston Herald

’”But is was mezzo Sandra Piques Eddy who, as in last year’s “Poppea”, nearly stole the show as the despairing Messenger who tells Orpheus of his wife’s death and as Hope, who leads him to the edge of the underworld to retrieve Eurydice. With her rich, velvety voice, stunning good looks (think a young Vivien Leigh) and above all her depth of feeling for every word and note she sang, she was utterly glorious.”

L'ORFEO - Boston Baroque
“…mezzo Sandra Piques Eddy, who stole the show last year at Boston
Baroque’s L’Incoronazione di Poppea, was equally impressive in this production as the Messenger, who tells Orfeo of his beloved’s death. Her voice is supple; she sings with beautiful control and richly modulated feeling.”

LA CLEMENZA DI TITO - Opera Institute

“…last week I saw two Clemenza’s. The second was a student production from the BU Opera Program. Could a young mezzo-soprano hold up to Hunt-Lieberson’s standards? Well, Sandra Piques Eddy, the opening night Sesto was quite something. She had a dramatic voice that really opened up, and she delivered the vocal bravura.”
