A Little Night Music - 2019
Countess Charlotte Malcolm
“Secondary roles are vividly portrayed by Cary Ann Rosko as Anne's friend, the disillusioned Countess Charlotte, married to military peacock Count Carl-Magnus, who openly philanders with Desiree. William Giammona is funny and convincingly pompous as the selfish louse, but Rosko wins compassion as she stands by her man, dishing out sarcastic zingers.”
Philip Campbell, Bay Area Reporter
The Marriage of Figaro - 2014
Cherubino
“…a remarkably funny and expressive Cary Ann Rosko as Cherubino.”
Nicki Bell, Classical Sonoma
Iolanthe - 2013
Fairy Queen
“Cary Ann Rosko was a crowd favorite Friday as the Queen of the Fairies. Rosko embodied the delicate sprite in every aspect, beautifully enhanced in her softly draped and colored ballet skirt and extra-tall, fairy-light hair.”
Elizabeth Warnimont, Benicia Herald
The Yeomen of the Guard - 2011
Phoebe Meryll
“Rosko’s performance last weekend was polished, a vivid portrayal of the capricious, lovelorn lass.”
Elizabeth Warnimont, Benicia Herald
Emmeline - 2010
Aunt Hannah
“The role of puritanical Aunt Hannah, whose actions have consequences that are not revealed until near the story’s end, is delivered with great power by contralto Cary Rosko.”
Suzanne and Greg Angeo, For All Events
Patience - 2010
Lady Angela
“...the ladies were deftly sung by Rebecca Krouner, Eliza Leoni and especially the rich-voiced Cary Ann Rosko." Joshua Kosman, SF Gate
The Gondoliers - 2018
Duchess of Plaza Toro
“In fact, whenever F. Lawrence Ewing and Cary Ann Rosko enter the scene as the pompous pair of parents, hilarity rises as they call upon their excellent baritone and contralto voices to take on fluttering, comic flairs.”
Eddie Reynolds, Theatre Eddys
Candide - 2015
Old Woman
“Cary Ann Rosko, her “Old Woman” servant (with only one buttock, “Don’t ask...”), also double cast, brings the house down in laughter time and again as she recounts her life’s woes.”
Eddie Reynolds, Theatre Eddys
Iolanthe - 2013
Fairy Queen
“Cary Ann Rosko was superb as the Fairy Queen. She is a tall woman, and her height was enhanced by a crown that forced her hair straight up. Consequently, she presented a strong character that was not to be trifled with, and she commanded the stage whenever she was present. She has a lovely, strong alto voice, and used it to good effect as she dominated the peers in the first act finale and in her “Oh foolish fay” as she explains the necessity to control ones affections to the fairy band.”
Jeff DeMarco, Peninsula Reviews
Princess Ida - 2013
Lady Blanche
“The contralto role is the scheming Lady Blanche, deliciously played by Cary Ann Rosko in this performance. Ms. Rosko’s comic timing was impeccable, and she was always good for a laugh. Blanche’s one solo aria was cut by Sullivan early on, but her strength of character and voice came through despite this.”
Jeff DeMarco, Peninsula Reviews
Emmeline - 2010
Aunt Hannah
“Introducing the theme of severe Protestant morality at the start of Act 1, and enforcing it through the denouement in Act 2, is Aunt Hannah, indelibly portrayed here by mezzo-soprano Cary Rosko.”
Jeff Kaliss, San Francisco Classical Voice
City of Angels - 2015
Donna/Oolie
“Cary Ann Rosko’s top-notch comic timing and vocal chops in dual roles as factotums Donna and Oolie, particularly when she sings 'You Can Always Count on Me.'”
Woody Weingarten, MarinScope
Iolanthe - 2013
Fairy Queen
“Among these winners was Cary Ann Rosko, the first slender Queen of the Fairies in my experience, with a deep and engaging mezzo soprano and sly stage presence.”
Robert P. Commanday, San Francisco Classical Voice
Iolanthe - 2013
Fairy Queen
“Funnier still was the Queen of the Fairies, as relished every minute by Cary Ann Rosko. Ms. Rosko has tickled us in other Lamplighters productions, but she was clearly having a special romp with this large and characterful assignment.”
Kilian Melloy, The Bay Area Reporter
Princess Ida - 2013
Lady Blanche
“Cary Ann Rosko's scheming Professor of Abstract Science Lady Blanche is properly confounding and scary.”
Janos Gereben, San Francisco Classical Voice
She Loves Me - 2011
Ilona Ritter
“Their cutely gullible co-worker Ilona, who yearns for that one big romance, is performed with great charm and energy by Cary Ann Rosko, who also possesses a remarkable mezzo-soprano voice.”
Suzanne and Greg Angeo, For All Events
