"For her part, Ainhoa Arteta as Alice was a display of stage charisma and, moreover, vocally she was generous with a voice that fulfilled all the technical demands, thus showing great versatility". César Rus (Ópera Actual)
"Ainhoa Arteta excelled in colour, warmth, projection, phrasing and self-confidence." Daniel Martínez Babiloni (Bachtrack)
"The theatrical dynamics worked perfectly, not only thanks to Martone, but also to the acting talents of all the soloists, among whom Ainhoa Arteta's Alice Ford stood out, showing tremendous involvement in her work. The Basque soprano deserved the podium for her musicality, for her beautiful voice at the service of the opera, well placed, well timbred, for her excellent singing line and construction of phrases, which make her one of the most complete tiples on the scene today. She sang like one of the greats...". Jacobo Ríos-Capé Carpi (Valencia Plaza)
