A minor sensation was the Hungarian mezzo-soprano Kinga Dobay, a barely tamed bundle of temperament in her playing and singing. Her clear, well-fitting voice, not too dark, immediately caught the ear in the Habanera with a fine glow, and displayed gloriously radiant high notes ... the majority of the cheers went to her performance. Main Echo August 2, 2003, Renate Freyeisen

Kinga Dobay's singing on Friday is so strong and differentiated that it sometimes leaves you breathless. One can assume that it is Kinga Dobay's musical experience that enables her to give such a contoured performance. Tauber Newspaper July 28, 2003

"...Under the direction of Yakov Kreizberg, the Hungarian Kinga Dobay sang her way into the hearts of the castle visitors; the master student of Julia Hamari has a timbre ranging from velvety soft to radiant, her voice is warm and full-bodied, her looks can seduce and kill..." Kölner Rundschau 02/08/03, Olaf Weiden

" With her technically very mature, agile and also very deep mezzo, she fulfills all expectations of a woman who captivates men with her erotic charisma. A very songlike Habanera and equally raw emotional outbursts. Strong." 12/2011 Südwestpresse, Jürgen Kanold
