| Act One, Scene 2: Una Voce Poco Fa |
| 1968*Teresa Berganza's belated entrance into the company came with a gorgeously scintillating Rosina in the centennial Barber. She looked as cute as your daughter’s best doll, she bathed the audience in creamy tone, she phrased aristocratically, she controlled dynamics perfectly, she floated the fioriture with ease, and she exhibited a lovability, which doesn’t come across on her Barber Recordings. |
| 1976*Barber brought von Stade’s sparkling, creamy-toned, subtly phrased Rosina, a genuinely starry performance, which had considerably more élan than her rather diffident Cinderella. |
| 2006-Allyson McHardy (Rosina) displayed polished, velvety vocalism in her showcase aria "Contro un cor," and musical refinement in her choice of intricate embellishments./ Review |

 |
| 2003-Helene Schneiderman, who sang so well as Bradamante in last season's "Alcina," made a vivacious and delightful Rosina, combining vibrant tone, impeccable technical control and canny comic timing into a charming performance./ Review |
| 2003-No local review? BUT 2006-Joyce DiDonato is a young American mezzo soprano who has taken London by storm. She is appearing at the Royal Opera House as Rosina in Barber of Seville. DiDonato. "A complete knockout." NPR-Audio |
| 1935*Josephine Tumminia from San Francisco's Marina District made a successful, if unremarkable appearance as Rosina. |
