" Steely, muted and unadorned, Keegan's lamentation vocal line (in the Bernsteins Jeremiah symphony No 1), revealed with brutal clarity the lonely despair of the prophet ignored.
Most moving was a gossamer rendition of the Mahler Ruckert Lieder by Keegan, her effortless line and a diaphanous orchestral accompaniment, floating the listener into dreamscapes of fragrance, celestial gazing and solitary musings. This was art to awaken even the most world weary listener."
Eamonn Kelly ~ The Australian ~ August 17 2018.

​"Liane Keegan makes a thrillingly sung Erda, her rich Alto riding Wagners orchestral textures."
Das Rheingold
Clive Paget ~ Limelight
​
"Liane Keegan makes an affecting impact as primeval earth goddess Erda, delivering rich expression in her voice as she convinces Wotan of the dangers of the Ring."
Das Rheingold
~ Simon Parris
​
Ërda returned confused from her wisdom rejuvenating slumber via Liane Keegan's colossally sensitive performance."
Siegfried
Paul Selar ~ Herald Sun
