| 1971* Irene Dalis an authoritative neatly musical Ulrica. |
| 1977* Patricia Payne, from London, was a bold voiced, characterful Ulrica. |
| * Reviews from Arthur Bloomfield's 1922-1978 The San Francisco Opera. |
|
| 1999-2000 |
| Eugenie Grunewald |
| 1999 * Elena Zaremba, from Moscow, served up a Madame Arvidson to relish. Played as a mystic eventually exhausted by her own powers, Zaremba poured out a steady stream of full, lush tone and majestic phrasing./ Review |

| 2006:Tichina Vaughn, as Madame Arvidson (Ulrica in the "real thing"), resulted in acceptable singing, although she presented the least dramatic and scary witch in company history./ Review |
