“Soprano Katrin Bulke [...] playing the jester’s love-struck daughter Gilda, given with her lovely crystalline voice [...]. And although [...] of Bulke’s Bel Canto’esque ornamentations (As they did with Joan Sutherland in this role) [...] be touched by her innocence and subsequent wisdom which was at it’s best in the duet “V’ho ingannato”, as Bulke performed a heart melting farewell to her father as she dies in his arms.”

Gilda - Rigoletto
“Katrin Bulke, a youthful-appearing Queen [...] gave us bright vocalism, with sometimes surprising, ringing interpolated high notes and apt ornamentation, and captured Elizabeth’s hope fulness in Act One, fury in Act Two, and angry, hurt, and haunted blend in the third act finale, capping cavatina “Vivi, ingrato” with a floated piano high D and climactic cabaletta “Quel sangue versato” with a formidable full-voice top D.“

Queen Elisabetta - Roberto Devereux
“Ms. Katrin Bulke who electrified the audience with the famous Queen of the Night aria from Mozart's Die Zauberflote. "Der Holle Rache" is known for it's high-lying tessitura and need for pinpoint accuracy. Ms. Bulke fulfilled every requirement, as she did with Amina's sleepwalking aria from Bellini's La Sonnambula, "Ah non credea mirarti" with its stunning cabaletta "Ah non giunge".“

German Forum
“The glamorous coloratura soprano Katrin Bulke impressed [us] highly. [...] Ms. Bulke, choosing material that wouldshow off her artistry and versatility, used her vocal and dramatic assets well to illuminate each character. With consummate versatility "Der Hölle Rache" [...] was the aria that so riveted our attention at the German Forum; the perfect accuracy of the coloratura passages and the brilliance of her upper register have only improved withtime. [...] Ms. Bulke again showed her versatility by performing the Countess' aria "Dove sono" with dignity and despair but with a change of color for the hopeful ending. [...] We applaud Ms. Bulke for her expressive melismatic singing and the crystalline texture of her instrument”
