  • "Golda Schultz brings to Ann Trulove a care of the vocal line, the specific character of her timbre, her expressive and enchanting pianissimos."

    — The Rake's Progress, Olyrix, December 2024

  • "Impeccably expressive, with warm high notes naturally imbued with both hope and sadness, the soprano stands out for her excellent vocal projection: she single-handedly elevates the scene in the hospital where Tom Rakewell is moping to a luminous moment of sensitivity rather than complacency..."

    — The Rake's Progress, Premere Loge, December 2024

  • "Amid the fluff and feathers, Schultz manages to give an insipid role remarkable depth and dimension. Her Trulove is impassioned and intelligent, and somehow, despite her victim status, seems always in charge of her destiny. When she shows compassion for Baba, for whom Tom jilts her, the gesture has stature"

    — The Rake's Progress, Financial Times, December 2024

  • “The glory of this revival was Golda Schultz, here making a belated Royal Opera debut. The South African soprano is blessed with one of the most golden, rich-toned voices of her generation and Fiordiligi was the ideal role for her…Here we had a great singer doing fabulous work and nothing else mattered.”

    — Così fan tutte, Opera, September 2024

  • “Schultz and Ware made each song a deeply involving short story. She gives listeners the feeling that each piece of music is being newly discovered as she delivers it, a sense of wonder being transmitted from artist to audience.”

    — This Be Her Verse, Star Tribune, April 2024

  • “Golda Schultz’s sparkly soprano was beautifully suited to the vocal solo in the final movement. Her absolute optimism was seemingly untouched by earthly matters.”

    — Mozart Concert, New York Times, February 2024

  • “Her voice has a very characteristic colour from the middle register onwards, which allows for rich differentiation. In the treble, especially in the coloratura Schultz’s voice appears weightless. Nowadays, no top-class Mozart ensemble could be without this singer, who has the highest level of technical possibilities and, above all, her impressive creative power.”

    — Mozart Matinée, Drehpunktkutur, August 2023

  • "Schultz’s tone had the gentle, silky glow of moonlight, but with a glisten that penetrated, and she gave a sense of both Adina’s independence and her vulnerability."

    — L'elisir d'amore, NY Times, January 2023

  • “Golda Schultz is one of those astonishingly gifted South African singers who are now taking the world’s opera houses and concert halls by storm…Schultz has a magnificent vocal instrument, rich and glowing throughout the range, with not a weak patch anywhere…overall this is a stunning debut disc of a soprano who is well on the way to operatic stardom.”

    — This Be Her Verse, The Telegraph, April 2022

  • “In what could well be the most exquisitely beautiful music to be heard in the Edinburgh Festival…Schultz and Ware were so much more than singer and accompanist, their subtle shading spinning long smooth lines suspended in shimmering light.” ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

    — This Be Her Verse, The Scotsman, Aug 2022
