“De held van het verhaal is de jonge Odiezee, een fijne rol van Vera Fiselier, die haar personage mooi laat balanceren tussen verstandig en onbezonnen.” – NRC, over Odiezee

NRC

“ook als registratie overtuigt Een lied voor de maan, zeker met deze cast … en bovenal Vera Fiselier die melancholie en euforie met een warme stem verbeeldt” – Theaterkrant over Lied voor de maan

Theaterkrant

“Vera Fiselier heeft een prachtig zuivere stem en weet met haar mimiek de almaar wisselende gevoelens van Magelone invoelbaar te maken.” – Theaterkrant, over Peter & Magelone

Theaterkrant

“Jakob wordt prachtig vertolkt door de mezzosopraan Vera Fiselier. Zij tekent ook voor de rol van verteller en beeldt bovendien de teksten van de vis en haar vader en moeder uit, met een bewonderenswaardig gevarieerde mimiek en lichaamstaal. Haar pure stem past goed bij de onschuld van het door zijn ouders gemanipuleerde kind.” – Theaterkrant, over Goud

Theaterkrant

“Vera Fiseliers Mezzosopran zeigte in Rossini “Barbier von Sevilla” in der Arie “Una voce poco fa” die große Biegsahmkeit einer schönen Belcanto-Stimme; auch darstellerisch erschien dieser Auftritt gelungen, sicherlich ein Höhepunkt des Konzerts.” – WAZ, New Year’s concert Männer-Chor Velbert
