Reviews 
“…...a burnished mezzo, technical ease and drama-inflected phrasing.” -The Baltimore Sun
“...a pleasure to hear the plush textures and dark, chocolatey timbre of her voice”-
Pierre Ruhe, The Atlanta-Journal Constitution
'[Wór] has a radiant voice as suited to the opera stage as to a more intimate recital hall -- a challenge that not every singer can meet'-
Cecelia Porter, Washington Post
"...Polish-born mezzo-soprano Magdalena Wór, ... made a magnificent debut with [Palm Beach Opera] company, with her rich, seductive mezzo sound, perfectly suited to the role. And her acting as the sultry, sexy and fiery cigarette girl had just the right amount of intensity."
"Carmen" review Palm Beach Artspaper
"…...Magdalena [Wór] almost stole the show as a well-defined and well-sung Suzuki"-
Anne Midgette, The Washington Post
"Magdalena Wór sang with a warm, beautifully focused sound. Her stage presence was of special note, engaging the listener with meaningful facial expressions and countenance...Ms. Wór was genuinely moved by the music she was singing, making the performance not just enjoyable, but one of great authenticity"-
Patrick McCoy, The DC Performing Arts Examiner
