Frick Collection recital, New York, November 2008

...in a wide-ranging program of French and German songs, she sang beautifully. Ms. Burggraaf’s warm, vibrant and dark-hued voice was well suited to a group of elegant and playful French songs by Bizet.
New York Times / Antony Tommasini

Hansel and Gretel - Welsh National Opera June 2008

Cora Burggraaf's lean and leggy Hansel was excellent, her stage presence just right, and her bright, clear tone a pleasure to listen to. She was the perfect complement for Rebecca Evans's lovely Gretel.
Opera / Rian Evans

The Hansel of Cora Burggraaf also possessed vocal and dramatic talents rarely encountered.
South Wales Echo / AJ Sicluna (June 2008)

Rebecca Evans's Gretel and Cora Burggraaf's Hansel make a perfectly matched pair, delightfully believable as mischievous siblings.
Metro / Jenny Longhurst (June 2008)


...the convincing, sulkily boyish Hansel of Cora Burggraaf.
Birmingham Post / Christopher Morley (June 2008)


Cora Burggraaf and Rebecca Evans make brilliant siblings. Burggraaf has exactly the gangly, boyish demeanour and clean delivery to carry the role convincingly.
Rian Evans / The Guardian


...with Cora Burggraaf and Rebecca Evans as the two hungry, naughty, children the word “perfect” is well deserved.
Mike Smith / Western Mail


Cora Burggraaf and Rebecca Evans are utterly believable as Hansel and Gretel.
The Times / Richard Morrison
