"Soprano Hilda Ramos was passionate, charming and wonderful! Standing ovation lasted five minutes at least."
Risa Kell
"Special kudos to the beautiful and gifted Hilda Ramos, who displayed not only an amazing vocal virtuosity but also exceptional acting skills in her sensitive and utterly believable portrayal of Madama Butterfly."
Tish Lowe
"Nedda also has a fairly familiar first-act aria with the lolting "Ballatella" in which she sings a happy song to the birds. The aria has a good deal of vocal coloration and got that from Hilda Ramos. She has a clear, strong, lovely soprano, a she made a fetching Nedda and with her looks, voice and acting ability,she will keep shooting up. One rather hopes she will return soon to Shreveport Opera"
