DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE - SEATTLE OPERA
"Crucial aspects of the new production include Rosa Mercedes' graceful yet often hilarious choreography."
The Seattle Times
"Between Rhodes' costumes and Rosa Mercedes' choreography, the animals are wonderously charming and endearing."
The Gathering Note
SAMSON ET DALILA - FLORIDA GRAND OPERA
"The demonic dancing scenes confer the word 'Grand' on this opera... Choreographed by the incomparable Rosa Mercedes, their movements were exotic, acrobatic and exciting."
Coral Gables Gazette
AIDA - CINCINNATI OPERA
"Dancers from Cincinnati Ballet (nimble youngsters in Amneris' chamber!) were a vital, vibrant component of the triumphal scene."
The Cincinnati Post
"The traditional ballet was so well conceived and integrated. Choreographer Rosa Mercedes has to share honors with the costumer Allen Klein. The dancers appeared gilded, moving sensuously among the masses on stage like a needed punctuation mark in a poetic sentence."
Oakwood Register
IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA - SEATTLE OPERA
"Crafted in collaboration with choreographer Rosa Mercedes and lighting designer Duane Schuler, effects that recall hilarious moments from such unexpected sources as The Wizard of Oz and the Marx Brothers' Duck Soup may look irreverent. But what Kazaras has done is, rather, to treat this supreme comic opera with the greatest respect."
The Seattle Times
CARMEN - TULSA OPERA
"The choreography was by Barcelona native Rosa Mercedes. In every one of her choreographies, as well as in her dancing which was on display in the tavern scene, Mercedes left no doubt about her talent."
Hispano de Tulsa
IL TROVATORE - OPERA NAPLES
"High notes include the dance work of Rosa Mercedes, who injects a startling, dramatic ghost of Azucena's own murdered mother at the just the right moments. It's a brilliant addition to this staging."
