"Als weiterer Höhepunkt brillierte feinsinnig die norwegische Mezzosopranistin Eira Huse mit «Sgombra è la sacra selva» aus Vincenzo Bellinis «Norma»." Berner Zeitung (2021)

"The Norwegian mezzo Eira Huse uses the opportunity to shine her warmly timbred and pleasantly vibrating voice in the melodies of Nadia Boulanger; her voice is moreover emitted with ease in each of the registers: The medium is fleshy, and the bass is assured. The artist proves herself to be fully convincing in the expression of lamentation, such as in Cantique with words by Maurice Maeterlinck, polished with a fair and precise attention paid to the nuances." - Olyrix, The Verbier Festival 2021 (2021)

Eira Huse is sculpting the silence of the famous "Morgen!" by Strauss, while Grieg grows from a game of hopscotch with consonants to an inner journey of joy that rustles!" - Opera Online, The Verbier Festival 2021 (2021)

Parmi les douze interprétations, toute différentes, et qui -fait remarquable- n’ont jamais lassé l’auditoire, on retiendra celle de la Norvégienne Eira Sjaastad Huse, pâle silhouette de légende aux cheveux de mousse empreinte de poésie. - Crescendo Magazine (2021)

…ebenso hervorragend Eira Sjaastad Huse (Die Andere Frau) - Opernglas, Dido and Aeneas, The Norwegian National Opera & Ballet (2019) (2019)

Ajouté au plaisir manifeste des chanteurs, parmi lesquels on retiendra notamment Erika Baikoff (Juliette) et Eira Huse (Lady Capulet), ce Roméo et Juliette est une réussite. - Le Zèbre, Romeo and Juliet`By B. Blacher, Opéra de Lyon / Théâtre de la Croix-Rousse (2019) (2019)

Eira Huse, chante avec conviction un Pâtre, puis joue la séduction et minaude dans le rôle de la Chatte, avant de proposer un Écureuil rond et enlevé. (2019)

La réussite provient avant tout de la troupe, très volontaire et animée, aux voix fines et articulées – en particulier le mezzo Eira Huse en Lady Capulet. Anaclase (2019) (2019)

Olyrix: Le quatuor vocal, composé d’Anna Cavaliero, Eira Huse (également Lady Capulet, au timbre chaleureux)… harmonise vaillamment des parties parfois difficiles, souvent a cappella. (2019)

"...The real stand-out for me was Eira Sjaastad-Huse’s Ottavia, whose deep, powerful voice brought clout to a character I usually find rather dull. Sjaastad-Huse’s acting also underlined the fact that Ottavia is not, as sometimes played, a purely wronged, virtuous figure."..."that smoky, burnished-bronze voice. Wow." www.theidlewoman.net (2017)

"For me, it was Swedish and Norwegian mezzo Eira Sjaastad-Huse who was my favourite. Her embodiment of the neglected empress Ottavia is captivated, more so is her voice, which is alluring and a pleasure to hear." - www.trendfem.com (2017)

..."The voices of Ottavia (Eira Sjaastad-Huse) and Ottone (Collin Shay) stood out in particular due to their timbre qualities." - www.playstosee.com (2017)

Bachtrack: "A thrillingly well-sung Ottavia from Eira Sjaastad-Huse, with extraordinary stage presence and a burnished, penetratingly full (mezzo-)soprano" (2017)
