WHAT THE CRITICS HAVE SAID
“By the time the competition (SF Bay Area Vocal Arts) had ended, I had singled out two sopranos from a field of 120 singers, Deirdre being one. What an exciting voice she has!”
THE OAKMONT NEWS: 1997
“Lobo sang Mozart & Puccini in a robust voice and I particularly enjoyed La canzone de Doretta from La Rondine. She is top class. This is the quality and caliber of singing which we miss in our country.”
THE INDIAN EXPRESS: 1996
"Recitalist inspired everyone with her aplomb and poise. Most significantly, she impressed listeners with her beautiful timbre, clear diction, delicate phrasing and fluid expressive renditions of operatic arias, lieder and native kundimans."
MANILA TIMES: 1987
