''Narine Ojakhyan, our Mimi from Yerevan, Armenia, her voice has a wonderful truth and purity to it, she seems born for Puccini’s lyric heroines and I could imagine her delicacy of presence and strength of voice serving her well in Madama Butterfly someday. Wonderful girl, wonderful gift''.

''Audience-favorite, Narine Ojakhyan’s voice was heavenly as she sang “Regnava nel Silenzio” from Lucia Di Lammermoor, for which she received thunderous applause''.
Leticia Marie Sanchez - Metropolitan national council auditions
'' Vibrant and crystal-clear voice ''.

''Soprano Narine Ojakhyan won the vocal palm of the evening, by far, with superbly vocalized accounts of the heroine’s famous numbers from Paganini and Zarewitsch and the inevitable “Meine Lippen sie kussen so heiss” from “Giuditta” She is a real find, and it was a treat to hear her''.
Harry Forbes - Loony
''Ojakhyan is a soprano whose voice is downright thrilling. In two numbers, Ojakhyan sang the aria "Una voce poco fa'' from Gioacchino Rossini's "Barber of Seville" with the brilliance of sopranos of a bygone era and vocal strength that carried to the far reaches of the Hall of Liberty auditorium''.

''Narine Ojakhyan is already a near-ideal Susanna, and boasted a musicality and control of tone that would grace any international stage.
When Ojakhyan and Crosato came together for the letter duet , blending delightfully, gently supported by orchestra, the evening reached one of its high points: a point from which an opera lovers could look serenely down, comforted by thoughts of a future blessed with such abundant musical talent''.
