Tatyana in North Bay Opera's Eugene Onegin
"Wilder's Tatyana was impetuous, petulant, naïve, spoiled --Nanny babies her, even putting her floppy arms into her dressing gown -- but most of all, in love. In the famous "Letter" scene ("I had to write"), Wilder's singing was gorgeous but her acting was, if possible, even more dramatic. From desk to chair to floor she moved, lying down and rolling, singing from her prone position as beautifully as she did standing. " - Marilyn Mantay, Daily Republic, March 13, 2007

"As Onegin's even younger admirer, Tatyana, Paula Goodman Wilder displayed a warm, lyric sound and impressive dynamic range. She easily navigated the long lines and her diction was nicely inflected." -- Kathryn Miller, San Francisco Classical Voice March 13, 2007

Minnie in Berkeley Opera's Girl of the Golden West
"Wednesday's performance, the second of four, was notable particularly for soprano Paula Goodman Wilder's gutsy, vigorous performance as Minnie. She tore into the role right from its opening scene, with a throaty vocal force that was irresistible, [...] full-bodied and impeccably placed. -- Joshua Kosman, San Francisco Chronicle, July 21, 2006

Manon in West Bay Opera's Manon Lescaut
"The leads, sung at the Sunday afternoon performance by Paula Goodman Wilder as Manon Lescaut and by Gabriel Reoyo-Pazos as her lover Chevalier des Grieux, were spine-tingling in their perfection. Rarely does one hear such a rich and unforced tenor voice and the beauty of Wilder's upper register could bring tears to anyone's eyes." -- Keith Kreitman, Tri-Valley Herald, February 21, 2006

Lady Macbeth in Berkeley Opera's Macbeth
"Goodman Wilder had the characterization down and can command attention. Her brindisi was rhythmically pointed, ironically undercutting the drinking-song pleasantries of the lyrics. The sleepwalking scene was extremely well done, with all kinds of distressed vocal colors – a dramatic high point, as Verdi designed it. ---Michael Zweibach, San Francisco Classical Voice, May 10, 2005

"[...] my bet is on Herrera and the striking Lady Macbeth, Paula Goodman Wilder, being able to make an impression in a much bigger house [...] Goodman Wilder provided a vibrant, intense Lady Macbeth." -- Janos Gereben Opera L, May 8, 2005
