• “Lister’s Alice Ford tingled with high spirits and a glowing soprano voice. She etched her character through playful gestures and warm vocalizing. David Stabler, The Oregonian (Portland, Oregon)
•  “As Mimi, the seamstress, the soprano Marquita Lister displayed a vocal instrument of suppleness and agility. Singing this part for only the second time in her career, she offered a portrayal that was never mawkish or affected, and her lower register has an entrancing adroitness.” -- David C. MacKenzie, Tulsa World  (Tulsa, Oklahoma)
•  “Lithe and fine-featured, Marquita Lister made a youthful and magnetic Nedda, combining strength with fear and melting vulnerability.  She sang with a large, weighty, and dark-toned soprano that amply blossomed on top.” Chris Pasles, Los Angeles Times (Los Angeles, California)
•  “Ms. Lister displayed a creamy, lyrical soprano in “Summertime.”  Her duets with Gregg Baker, such as “Bess, You Is My Woman Now” had a wonderful chemistry, whether due to her charm or Mr. Baker’s superb baritone.” Janelle Gelfand, The Cincinnati Enquirer (Cincinnati, Ohio)
• “Lister produced a brilliant, cleanly articulated sound in her proud portrayal of self-centered Vitellia, displaying fine vocal technique and a confident stage presence.” Carl Cunningham, Houston Post (Houston, Texas)
• “The third principal, Marquita Lister, the Vitellia, was equally remarkable. (Londoners who heard her Bess may already be agreeing, but she was new to me). She is tall and beautiful.” She sings “with dignity, force and grace in both her physical and vocal demeanor and with vocal prowess she combines her dramatic instinct which should destine her to be our next important Elvira, then Anna. With “Non piu di fiori” she held the house spellbound.” Andrew Porter,  Financial Times  (London, England)
• “Pag” also gave Lister, as the restless Nedda, a chance to show her vocal strengths, among which are an impressive agility in her upper range and a rich, honeyed timbre.” The Hartford Courant (Hartford, Connecticut)
• “The cast was strong on the female side, weak on the male.  Soprano Marquita Lister’s voice is just right for the soaring lines of Mimi’s two arias, while her tall, thin and graceful figure makes her believably vulnerable.” Robert Croan, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette  (Pittburgh, Pennsylvania)
