"Ms. Nikcevic, a mezzo soprano, knocked the panel’s socks off with her huge, lush voice and fantastic expressive coloratura in an audition that started great and just got better. In “Acerba voluttà” from Adriana Lecouvreur and “Mura felici” from La donna del lago, she demonstrated an agile, precise, and very pleasing voice with a tremendous range of color, lightness of motion and robust, round tone. She has big potential as an actress – she showed the ability to communicate varied thoughts and use her body to great effect and built great momentum and energy as she sang."
