Reviews, articles:
"...Václava Krejčí Housková was a great lady of the evening playing the male role of Smeton. Her mezzo-soprano has a darker timber and sounds balanced. Her deep tones would surpass world-class singers (speaking of Anna Bolena in Vienna two years ago). Her performance was sophisticated, fervent in tones and soulful." (Opera Plus, June 8, 2013).
