“…some excellent singers grace the minor roles, notably Nazan Fikret as a feisty Karolka and Piotr Lempa as the Mayor. They all contribute to an electric charge that lets the opera itself win through, as it always seems to." (WhatsOnStage / Mark Valenica) (2016)
“Mark Saberton as the mill foreman and Nazan Fikret as Števa's eventual bride, Karolka, contribute sharp, well-sung vignettes.” (The Arts Desk / Stephen Walsh) (2016)
“Nazan Fikret is well cast as the Mayor's smug daughter Karolka, so confident in her soon-to-be shattered dreams of married bliss with the reprehensible Števa" (Bachtrack / Charlotte Valori) (2016)
“...The real stars, however, were the six singers...rather eclipsed by soprano Nazan Fikret, whose comic Fiordiligi was excellent." (The Arts Desk / Gyn Mon Hughes) (2014)
“Nazan Fikret (whom I first saw when she was fourteen as a terrifying Flora in The Turn of the Screw). Her Come Scoglio was strongly characterised as one could wish." (Opera / Michael Kennedy) (2014)
“[Walt's] two daughters were engagingly sung by Sarah Tynan and Nazan Fikret with bell-like clarity." (Opera Brittania / Mark Pullinger) (2013)
“Our Governess, of two, was Nazan Fikret, not so long ago the most frightening Flora anyone's seen at English National Opera. Her voice has a piercing sweetness and her innocence was touching..." (The Arts Desk / David Nice) (2013)
“Led by the impressive soprano of Nazan Fikret. Hers is a lovely voice, ripe, rich and clear with an especially beautiful top. Her projection and coloratura were also very good..." (Seen & Heard International / Simon Thompson) (2012)
“The Queen of the Night appears sophisticated... Nazan Fikret convinced the Queen of the Night with wonderfully clear coloratura and meets clean every single note..." (Online Music Magazin / Thomas Molke) (2012)
“Vocal highlights were the convincing Nazan Fikret with her clarion sparkle as The Queen of the Night..." (Opera con Brio / Richard B. Breams) (2012)
“A final year undergraduate at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Nazan Fikret is experienced in this role, which she first sang aged twelve, and her confidence and accuracy suggest a promising talent" (Opera Today / Claire Seymour) (2009)
