Reviews:
Agathe in West Bay Opera's Der Freischütz
“The reverent cavatina “Und ob die Wolke sie verhülle,” as delivered by Wilder at the opening of Act 3, is alone worth the price of admission (to both the Lucie Stern Theatre and Heaven!); it’s one of the most transcendent moments in all opera.” - Jeff Kalis, San Francisco Classical Voice, Feb 20, 2010
Senta in West Bay Opera's Flying Dutchman
“... [Paula Wilder’s] voice remained solid and beautiful up to the thrilling high B that capped their truly glorious final duet.” - J. Serinus, OPERA NEWS August 2008, vol 73. no 2
Minnie in Berkeley Opera's Girl of the Golden West
“Wednesday's performance, the second of four, was notable particularly for soprano Paula Goodman Wilder's gutsy, vigorous performance as Minnie. She tore into the role right from its opening scene, with a throaty vocal force that was irresistible, [...] full-bodied and impeccably placed.” -- Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle, July 21, 2006
