Orfeo ed Euridice (Opera in the Heights, April 2016)

“But the evening belongs to mezzo Laura Coale, a former OH chorus member, who sings Orfeo with stunning clarity and emotional heft. Holy Gluck, where have you been, Ms. Coale? If this isn't a star turn, I don't know what is! She's phenomenal – with a powerful, expressive, radiant, and unfettered voice. There's not a falter, waver, quaver, quiver to her. A lovely actor to boot, she looks great in a tuxedo.” D.L. Groover, Houston Press

“Laura Coale's definitive portrayal of Orfeo. I have heard every recording I can get my hands on, modern and historic. Ms. Coale makes them all sound stodgy and generic in comparison. She gives Orfeo strength and psychological insight previously unheard, unimagined.” Eiki Isomura, Principle Conductor for Opera in the Heights 

Little Women (Opera in the Heights, April 2017)

“Coale's Aunt Cecilia plows onto the stage like some stately galleon, full-rigged in black. Ornery and decidedly set in her ways as if carved into a temple wall, she's a commanding presence with a commanding voice, deep and rock-ribbed. She's also a commanding character.” D.L Groover, Houston Press

La fille du Regiment (Opera in the Heights- 2018)

       “As snotty La Marquise, mezzo Laura Coale…adds another fully-realized character to her growing rep. With expert comic timing and punchy delivery, Coale gives the Marquise a tinge of Wilde's Lady Bracknell with shades of classic Hollywood's Edna May Oliver.” D.L Groover, Houston Press
