​"You're a singing actress alright. Your acting, combined with the brilliance of your voice sets you apart." - Judge comments, Harold Haugh Light Opera Competition 
With a "personality onstage that is hard to resist", deemed a "true singing actress" and praised for "terrifically accurate, effortless sounding fioratura", Rachel is a versatile singer that is equally comfortable singing Broadway styles as well as her coloratura operatic repertoire. When participating in competitions that offer an award for "Audience Favorite", she has consistently won that honor (seven so far, and counting). Winning national and international competitions has done much to launch her career, resulting in her solo Carnegie Hall Debut in 2014, where her talents were first noticed by The Sorel Organization...(continue)
"Rachel Sparrow morphs easily from popular co-ed to woman of broken dreams..." 
- Chicago Sun-Times
​(Jenny Hill, Big Fish)
"Rachel Sparrow's  Lucia performance was beautiful: vocally, musically.
And being a very demanding stage director, I was amazed by her acting and expressiveness. I've rarely heard a Lucia who incarnated
with so much personality and emotion this very dramatic character."  
- Francois Loup, Metropolitan Opera Veteran & Stage Director
​"The Queen of the Night role is perhaps best known for the second of her two trapeze-act arias in “Flute,” which showcase the brave soprano’s extremely high coloratura range.
Sparrow rose to the occasion with ease, and wowed the audience with her precision and range on both arias."
