"Evil gets whipped up by the rich and ripe voiced Rose Nolan as the Old Woman who also doubles as Mrs North Wind.... Mr North Wind with Nolan’s Mrs North in a brilliant, comic description of love." 2019 The Enchanted Pig, Yarra Valley Opera Festival, Paul Selar, Limelight
"Rose Nolan is another standout as the stiffly postured, cigarette-smoking wife of Offred’s Commander, Serena Joy. Impactful, cutting and controlled in voice, Nolan imbued Serena Joy with icy demeanour in perfectly acting out her part under a male-dominated regime, one in which a man’s fertility isn’t in question. Serena Joy’s existence is a paradox and as she holds Offred by the arms as her husband copulates with his Handmaiden, her own compromised womanhood becomes transparent." 2018 Handmaid's Tale, Yarra Valley Opera Festival, Paul Selar, Limelight
"Rose Nolan as the Secretary deserves special mention for her (the character's!) breakdown in Act 2 - a poignant turning point in the drama executed wonderfully"
2018 The Consul with Gertrude Opera, Opera Australia's Rory Struthers
"Rose Nolan gives stellar, deeply carved mezzo-soprano richness and emphatic angular diction to her pursed-lipped Secretary."
2018 The Consul with Gertrude Opera, Paul Selar, OperaChaser
"Rose Nolan, representing bureaucracy’s contempt for the experience of the individual, expertly portrayed the character of the secretary."
2018 The Consul with Gertrude Opera, Bronwen Whyatt, CutCommon, The new generation of classical music.
"..... was partnered by a delicious Nancy in Rose Nolan, who sang with rich-toned relish, acted with poise and sensitivity, and looked exquisite."
Albert Herring with Surrey Opera, Oliver Tims, Opera Magazine
"Ben Thapa and Andrew Davies shaped the rather laid-back character of the two Venetian gondolieri, Marco and Giuseppe, with fine performances that were well matched by their long-suffering spouses, Eloise Routledge as Gianetta and Rose Nolan as Tessa."
The Gondoliers with Surrey Opera, Simon Ames, Surrey Mirror
"Other standouts in the large company include a cheeky Rose Nolan singing up a storm in the 'pants' role of Prince Oreste"
La belle Hélène with Lyric Opera of Melbourne, Simon Parris, Theatre People
"Indeed, the singing at times is breathtakingly wonderful. Rose Nolan plays Hansel and her voice is rich and silky with mellifluous tones."
Hänsel und Gretel OzOpera, Opera Australia, Lily Bragge, The Age, Melbourne, Australia
