Praise for "Emalie Savoy: A Portrait":
“Her sound is gleaming and full-bodied, accompanied by excellent musicianship...the sound is ravishing.”
– Opera News
"From the beginning, she has one sitting up and pricking up one´s ears...There is voluptuousness in Savoy's voice when she caresses the words in Asie, the magic in La flûte enchantée and the warmth of L’indifférent...the first-class recording and the beauty of this voice, make this one of the best readings of this cycle...this is glowing singing."

Armide in Gluck's Armide with MET+Juilliard:
"As Armide, an alluring, power-hungry sorceress who is also Princess of Damascus during the First Crusade, the gifted soprano Emalie Savoy sang with plush sound, fiery temperament and cool elegance. This Met young artist seems ready for the title role should the Met decide to present the work. It should."

Armide in Gluck's Armide and Fiordiligi in Così fan tutte with MET+Juilliard:
"Opera buffs had chances to hear the remarkable Ms. Savoy last year in two collaborative productions between the Juilliard Opera Theater and the Met’s Young Artist program. In November she was a vulnerable and vocally lustrous Fiordiligi in an imaginative production of Mozart’s “Così Fan Tutte,” directed by Stephen Wadsworth and conducted by Alan Gilbert. And early last year she sang the demanding title role in Gluck’s seldom heard “Armide.” That Ms. Savoy has the right combination of vocal allure, majesty and passion for this role she showed again on Sunday in her account of Armide’s intense final scene."
