| Dara Rahming - Selected Reviews | bio and resume |

Sarasota Opera's Il Corsare |
| "Dara Rahming, in the lyric-soprano role of Medora, was excellent in the plaintive "Non so le tetre immagini," accompanied by harp, begging Corrado not to leave. Her touching simplicity stood in nuanced contrast to Gonzalez's belting." |
| - Opera News |
"Dara Rahming was an effective and very musical Medora. |
| - Opera L |
"Bella presenza e voce curata la Medora del soprano Dara Rahming." |
| - America Oggi |
Florida Grant Opera's Die Zauberflöte |
| "A very special mention must go to Dara Rahming, a most spectacular First Lady. Her voice, beautifully placed and produced, soared over the ensemble with class and great style. Brava!" |
| -Talk About Network |
Edmonton Opera's Porgy and Bess |
| "... her Clara was ably sung. This soprano has technique to spare and plenty of dramatic flare to boot." |
| -Edmonton Journal |
Washington National Opera's Porgy and Bess |
| "... Dara Rahming brought a commanding authority to the part of Lily. |
| -The Washington Post |
Hudson, New York IX Altamura/Caruso International Voice Competition |
| "Soprano Dara Rahming sang Tacea la Notte from Verdi's Trovatore with exquisite vocal sound and brought the cabaletta off superbly." |
| -Register-Star |
Oakland East Bay Symphony |
| "Rahming looking feisty in a bright red dress as she jutted her sharp hips and sashayed onto a downstage platform, made a distinct impression ... (Her) second act duet (as Bess) with Crown was another musical and dramatic peak, at once dreamy and intense." |
| -San Francisco Chronicle |
"Dara Rahming as Bess lends (her) stellar voice to the Symphony's performance of Gershwins 'Porgy and Bess'." |
| -The Times |
"Rahming displayed the kind of formal vocal poise that befits her bio which includes past parts in Tosca, Il Corsaro, and The Magic Flute. In "Bess, You Is My Woman Now", the two (Rahming and Inglehart) martched each other note for vibrato-tinged note." |
| -San Francisco Chronical |
Summer Opera Theater Tosca |
| "Rahming an obviously promising singer." |
| -The Baltimore Sun |
"In Act 2, Rahming sang "Vissi d'arte" with hair-raising power." |
| - The Washington Post |
"As Floria Tosca, soprano Dara Rahming's silvery voice is a bit on the lyric side for the robust role. But she still catches the right nuances of her proud yet vulnerable character, and her phgrasinbg as impecacably polished and assured." |
