“In the title role of Cinderella, Mary Pat Finucane floated with ease through the coloratura passages, sailing through the final famous aria . . . and lent a dark color to the role which was entirely appropriate.”

  -- Nancy Ping-Robbins, The News & Observer, Raleigh, NC

​

In Mozart’s Requiem:  “Most exquisite were the several passages where Mozart had the quartet of soloists singing with the chorus . . . . “

 - Sheila Abrams, Recorder Newspapers

​

Opera News critic, Sorab Modi call Finucane “a charming Cherubino . . .”

“The singers in Prince George Opera’s Figaro were superb.  As Cherubino, who helps Figaro outwit the Count, Finucane’s voice, diction, and character dramatization were excellent.”

-- Dennis Ira Ruck, Prince George’s Journal

​

“Finucane is one of those extraordinary mezzos emerging in the present generation . . . rich and resonant in the lower register, bright and graceful up in the territory that used to be reserved for coloratura sopranos.  She uses this voice intelligently and with fine musicianship.”

-- Joseph McLellan, WETA-FM

​

“Her Rosina is a refreshing feat .  .  . contralto lows with dazzlingly articulated runs at the top.”                      

  -- Lon Tuck, The Washington Post

 

“Finucane gave a fine performance as an impulsive, warm-voiced Cherubino.”

-- Joseph McLellan, The Washington Post

​

“Mezzo-soprano Mary Pat Finucane’s Hansel is excellent, the voice is big and rich, well-controlled and projected.”        

-- Joseph McLellan, The Washington Post
