Praise for After Life by Tom Cipullo:
“But soprano Sara Paar basically stole the show as the Young Girl, as seems to have been the intent of composer Cipullo and librettist David Mason.”
—Arlo McKinnon for Opera News
Praise for Eastern Currents with Ensemble 365:
“The excellent soprano Sara Paar was sensitive to every expression in the text, by female Azerbaijani poet Nigyar Rafibeili.”
- Frank Daykin for New York Concert Review
“The performance here is fabulous, with the aching loneliness of “Narcissus” for soprano and flute (itself implying a shakuhachi) balanced by the angular play of ‘The Boatman.’”
– Colin Clarke for Fanfare
Praise for Bach’s Cantata “Gott, der Herr, ist Sonn’ und Schild” (BWV 79) with The Choral Society of the Hamptons:
“Sara Paar and Mischa Bouvier were quite expressive and enjoyable to hear in the duet for soprano and bass in the fifth movement.”
– Adam Judd for The East Hampton Star
Praise for Sara’s work with Experience Vocal Dance Ensemble:
“Following the lengthy explanations and anatomically detailed diagrams of the performers' centres located down below' the said perineum), we were shown a clip of Sara Parr. one of EVDC's New York's artists, performing O mio babbino caro using IPP. It was astonishing. Watching the performance of this famous solo about a young girl whinging to her father, the vocal dancer was able to bodily interpret the piece by flinging her body every which way whilst keeping the beautiful vocal interpretation intact. It encapsulated to the uninitiated how you don't have to stand poised, hands clasped under bosom, to sing arias.”
– Genevieve Simms for SkyArts
