Susanna / Le nozze di Figaro / Hampstead Garden Opera / 2021
“As Susanna, Shafali Jalota is radiant and captivating.”
Inge Kjemtrup, The Stage
Romilda / Serse / Opera Neo / 2021
“As Romilda, Shafali Jalota rose to the plot’s greatest dramatic challenge, maintaining her loyalty to Arsamene while keeping the unrelenting, powerful king at bay. Fortunately, the sparkling clarity of her ringing soprano gave ample credence to her character’s virtue.”
Ken Herman, San Diego Story

Yehuda Shapiro, The Stage
Giunone / La Calisto / Opera NEO / 2019
“Other standouts are power soprano Shafali Jalota as the fierce Juno”
Pam Kragen, San Diego Union-Tribune
“As Juno (or Giunone), soprano Shafali Jalota conjured a generous portion of Queen-of-the-Night vengeance, adding an apt dramatic edge to her otherwise ingratiating lyric soprano instrument.”
Ken Herman, San Diego Story

Heidi McFall, Opera Today
