Mezzo-soprano Magdalena Wór is praised often for the sumptuous color of her voice and her complete devotion to music and text. “She has that kind of velvety rich mezzo that makes you want to follow her anywhere.” (The Washington Post 2016) Her vocal flexibility allows her to easily span the lower to upper registers of the mezzo range, as well as the Baroque through 21st century repertoire.

“...Magdalena Wor almost stole the show as a well-defined and well-sung Suzuki.” proclaimed Anne Midgette of The Washington Post following Magdalena’s role debut of Suzuki with Virginia Opera. Her debut as Carmen with Palm Beach Opera won equal approval from the critics: “Polish-born mezzo-soprano Magdalena Wór...made a magnificent debut...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.” (Palm Beach Artspaper)
