Stella - A Streetcar Named Desire - Tulsa Opera
Sarah Jane McMahon makes Stella, Blanche’s sister and Stanley’s wife, a remarkably self-possessed character. She may talk of being a little afraid of her husband, but as the Poker Night sequence shows, Stella is the one who truly wields the power in this relationship. And McMahon makes the vocalise Stella sings the morning after at once joyous and naughtily erotic.

Soprano Soloist - Opera Gala - Toledo Opera
Set aside crimson for McMahon, for that is the shade her smooth, serviceable soprano voice suggested. Like a great utility sports star, this busy diva can belt out a quirky contemporary love song (“Taylor, the Latte Boy”), enchant all of Paris as Musetta, the flirtatious courtesan from Puccini’s La Boheme, and warble delicately as Mabel from Gilbert & Sullivan’s Pirates of Penzance. All that and, at the end of “Poor Wandering One” from Penzance, she did the splits, parasol held high.

Yum-Yum - The Mikado - Lyric Opera of Kansas City
McMahon’s voice is bright and clear, and she shone throughout with her bouncy acting and delightfully varied singing. Her lithe and lively vocal flexibility is perfect for fast-paced songs but she did a quite admirable job with Yum-Yum’s ode to her own beauty, “The Sun Whose Rays Are All Ablaze.” The beauty of this aria’s music belies the undercurrent of vanity in its text, and McMahon let the music speak for itself, allowing the lovely melody to be free from comedic touches, which she left largely to her own facial and body expressions.

Soprano Soloist - Handel's Messiah - Winston-Salem Symphony
Soprano Sarah Jane McMahon made a dramatic entrance, delivering her recitative, “There were shepherds abiding in the field” as she approached the podium via the central aisle of the nave, wearing a striking dark venous-red strapless dress. Her diction was excellent and her voice was gorgeously even across its range and could easily soar to a high of instrumental purity.

Soloist - Placido Domingo Gala - New Orleans Opera Association
New Orleans’ own Sarah Jane McMahon simply gets better and more beautiful each time she walks onto a stage. Her remarkable soprano voice is only matched by her consummate performance as a singing actress. Even in this concert setting, she brought her characters fully to life. Her commanding rendition of “Sempre libera” from Verdi’s “La Traviata” rang out with joy. With “La ci darem la mano,” from Mozart’s “Don Giovanni,” McMahon shared a coy duet with Domingo, wrapping his heart (along with that of the audience) around her little finger.

Pamina - Die Zauberflöte - Opera Grand Rapids
Sarah Jane McMahon as Pamina, returned for her fourth production with Opera Grand Rapids, but she's nowhere close to wearing out her welcome. Her presence lights up the stage with acting that glitters and a voice that gleams. Her heart-wrenching aria, bemoaning Tamino's silence during his tribulations, was one of the touching moments of the production.

Violetta - La Traviata - Toledo Opera
In soprano Sarah Jane McMahon the company has found an actress with a brilliant, even, and infinitely flexible voice and a singer who knows how to fully inhabit a part. Her Violetta was equal parts vamp and saint, all party-hearty in one scene, self-sacrificing lover in the next. Even her extended death scene was graceful and believable, musically convincing.

Xanthe - Die Liebe der Danae - Bard SummerScape Festival
One wished the excellent Sarah Jane McMahon (Xanthe) had more to sing.
—Opera News
The role of Xanthe, Danae's attendant, was sung with sparkle by soprano Sarah Jane McMahon. Her voice blended together bewitchingly with Meagan Miller's in their Act 1 duet, which echoes the great duet for sopranos in the composer's much-earlier 'Arabella'.
—Associated Press
Miller gave a satiny counterpart to Sarah Jane McMahon's silky Xanthe.
—WQXR, The Classical Music Station of NYC
Sarah Jane McMahon made Xanthe into a memorable character. McMahon balanced on the very edge between making Xanthe a mirror image of Danae and leading an independent but shared realization of their potential futures. McMahon's high D-flat, echoed moments later by Danae, culminated the second scene of act one.
—Sonic Labyrinth
The Act I scene of two soaring duets for sopranos up to D-flats for Danae and Xanthe (Meagan Miller and Sarah Jane McMahon) was a fine moment.

Pamina - Die Zauberflöte - New Orleans Opera
In the lead role, Sarah Jane McMahon was in command of the stage virtually every moment she was on. Her finest moment, as Mozart would like it, was the aria "Ach, ich fühl's, es ist verschwunden." As she displayed vocal artistry at every place in the register, she turned her character's feeling of indifference from a lover into a fully believable life-or-death situation.

Mabel - The Pirates of Penzance - Arizona Opera
McMahon proved to be the vocal standout. Her soprano was bright and robust in the patter songs, alluring and mesmerizing in the hilarious coloratura where she did cartwheels. In one scene she did the splits — right down to the floor. A few scenes later, she busted out three cartwheels, singing all the while. (For the record, McMahon was not lip syncing when she flipped through the air; it was live.)
—The Arizona Star
Mabel - The Pirates of Penzance - Arizona Opera
But there are at least three saving graces for the production. The first and by far the most important is Sarah Jane McMahon as Mabel. Few people can sing and hold pitch while doing cartwheels across the stage. McMahon not only has a physicality that sells her role, but actually makes more of the character of Mabel than exists in the script. At several moments, I was reminded of Madeline Kahn, both playing the part and commenting on her playing of the part at the same time.

Violetta - La Traviata - Opera Theater of Connecticut
Traviata is built around a soprano, and Sarah Jane McMahon impressed in her role debut as Violetta. McMahon began to take over as the first act progressed. She scorched "Sempre libre (always free)," singing the coloratura passages with uncanny accuracy, and bringing them in and out of laughter with charisma. In the second act it was her dramatic power; the third a juxtaposition of tender lyricism and vocal fierceness. She had the ability to command our attention at any moment, even if the stage was filled with people. She brought a rainbow of emotional complexities to her character. McMahon made us all love Violetta.
—Hartford Courant
Violetta - La Traviata - Opera Theater of Connecticut
Sarah Jane McMahon did not just play Violetta in Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata produced by Opera Theater of Connecticut, she became her. Right before your eyes, this tall, slim brunette transformed herself into a 19th century courtesan who, though dying of consumption, agrees to give up the love of her life, Alfredo, at the request of his father. And while the flawless 30 piece orchestra under the direction of Kyle Swann, the entire supporting cast, the costumes, lighting and super titles all blended together in proper harmony by Artistic Director Alan Mann and General Director Kate Ford for the company's 25th anniversary production, it was McMahon who riveted and soared and turned the evening into rapture. The 29-year-old soprano, who studied with opera legend Placido Domingo and started her theatrical career as a dancer and musical actress, made the Andrews Memorial Theater stage her own. Her voice – pure and vibrant and full of nuances and the kind of seamless intensity not usually seen north of the Met – was remarkable not only because every aria became an ode to an emerging star, but because it underlined something she does even better than she sings: her ability to literally become the woman she is portraying. When McMahon came to stage front, the audience leaped to its collective feet, shouting and screaming and clapping, the tears hot in their eyes. For the night belonged to her.

Violetta - La Traviata - Opera Theater of Connecticut
This Violetta, soprano Sarah Jane McMahon, is very good indeed. Slim and attractive, fairly crackling with energy and singing with an ease that feels more like art than athleticism, McMahon time and again reveals nuances usually glossed over by rote performances. The opera is centered on its Violetta, and McMahon takes us new places. In the first act, McMahon's Violetta seems predatory, a dangerous man-eater who cackles wickedly as she dispatches her thoughts of love "Follie!" Her coloratura in the act-ending showpieces is musical, and her "Gioire" bursts like fireworks over the stage. The second act garden scene is an entire drama unto itself. Here McMahon wrings every drop from its long heart-wrenching arc of emotion ... she spins from defiance to dark corners of sorrow and despair to a chilling, steely sense of doom as she slaps the table to sing "Morro! (I shall die!)." When Alfredo returns, unaware that she has vowed to leave him, McMahon's desperation as she grasps him to sing "Amami, Alfredo! (Love me, Alfredo!)" is almost terrifying in its intensity - the score's high point too often overlooked by Violettas exhausted by the act's earlier challenges.

Gilda - Rigoletto
One of the most outstanding singers in this cast, the beautiful soprano Sarah Jane McMahon as Gilda, the trusting young woman completely in love with the Duke of Mantua without any understanding of what he plans for her, revealed a voice of brilliance, power, range, bell-like high notes and great fluidity which enabled her to bring all of Verdi’s music to stunning life. Her vocal skills, especially in “Caro nome,” allowed her to convey the girl's total belief in the Duke's supposed love for her so that, while all of us who listened to her admired her imposing singing skills, we also recognized the amazing naivete that would no doubt bring her to destruction by a man interested only in physical conquest.

Broadway by the Year 1959 - Town Hall, NYC
One of the smartest things Kudisch did was to bring along his colleagues from the recent City Opera production of The Pirates of Penzance, that production's model Major-General and Mabel, Mark Jacoby and Sarah Jane McMahon. McMahon is a pretty, trim opera soprano whose trilling is thrilling. She can also act up a storm and is not averse to doing a somersault and showing off her amazing yoga proficiency. She has all the makings of a brunette Kristin Chenoweth.
—Curtainup.com
There are not enough superlatives to describe the extraordinary talent that was showcased during the most recent edition of Broadway By the Year: The Broadway Musicals of 1959. But if one performer managed to stand out among the nine who defined the word terrific, it was Sarah Jane McMahon, a beautiful coloratura who elicited cheers with her radiant singing of the familiar spirits- raising "Climb Every Mountain" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music. McMahon, who most recently appeared as Mabel in a new production of The Pirates of Penzance at the New York City Opera, gave us reason to believe that this was a Mother Superior who was just waiting to show Mama Rose a thing or two. She also commandeered an audience-participating "Do Re Mi" during which she not only displayed a cascade of high notes a la Cunegonde but capped the number with a fearless split that would give many a nimble performer pause. McMahon's versatility was even more notable, however, in the sensitivity that defined her singing "I Wish it So," from Mark Blitzstein's gorgeous score for Juno. She joined baritone Marc Kudisch (her co-star in Pirates, and who also admirably directed this concert) for an "unplugged" and playful singing of "Yesterday I Love You," from Once Upon a Mattress. We got a hint at the top of the concert of what was ahead as she blended in with Emily Skinner, Mark Jacoby and Manoel Felciano to sing the title song from The Sound of Music a cappella.
—TheaterScene.net
At most of the shows in the Broadway by the Year series there is at least one surprise, and for me the main one in "The Broadway Musicals of 1959" was Sarah Jane McMahon, with whose work I had not been familiar. Not only does she have a dazzling soprano operatic voice, but she is attractive, exhibits a sense of comedy in the fashion of Broadway musicals, and, as if that were not enough, she can sit with both legs behind her head, a habit she says she acquired as a little girl when watching television. McMahon played Mabel in a recent production of "The Pirates of Penzance" at the New York City Opera. Wish I had seen it. The quality of McMahon's voice became immediately apparent as she led off the show singing "The Sound Of Music," the title number from one of the hit productions of 1959, along with Mark Jacoby, also in "Pirates," Emily Skinner and Manoel Felciano. Her subsequent "I Wish It So" from "Juno," "Doe a Deer" and "Climb Every Mountain" solos, and her participation in such numbers as "Take Me Along" from the same titled show, "Yesterday I Loved You" from "Once Upon a Mattress" and "Let Me Entertain You" from "Gypsy" further emphasized what a find she is. Evidently Placido Domingo had a similar reaction. He invited her to join his Los Angeles Opera company.
—Wolf Entertainment Guide
Imagine, for instance, Sarah Jane McMahon, fresh from her stint as Mabel in The Pirates of Penzance at New York City Opera, ending "Do Re Mi" (from "Music") in full splits. McMahon's soprano sounded glorious in this and other numbers, including "Let Me Entertain You" (form "Gypsy"), where she not only proved that she could do cartwheels, but also demonstrated her prowess as a contortionist. McMahon also delivered a ravishing "I Wish It So" from Juno.

Magnolia - Kern's Show Boat - Tulane Summer Lyric
Sarah Jane McMahon's Magnolia is ravishing, both in her exquisite, supple soprano (which hits a high C in "After the Ball") and in her porcelain beauty. Her character carries a local symbolism since she is called "Nola" for short. Akin and McMahon singing "Make Believe" and especially the operetta duet "You are Love," make musical magic.

Cleopatra - Handel's Giulio Cesare - Opera Theater of Connecticut
Dazzling is not too strong a word to describe Sarah Jane McMahon... The young raven-haired Yale graduate was electric onstage... She excelled in a difficult singing role that also requires strong acting to convey everything from bright humor to sexual allure and pathos. McMahon was funny as she entered admiring herself in a mirror, then was impressive in Handel's strenuous, ornate up-and-down runs, and then was mesmerizing in her subdued love arias, particularly "V'adoro pupille". She soared easily to full high notes, then floated some beautiful pianos whose effect was all the greater because of the small auditorium's intimacy. She moved with a dancer's grace. Lying on the floor in a lover's dejected agony did not hamper her vocal projection. And, in an intimate moment with Caesar, she gave an intriguingly drawn-out delivery of the word "darling," imbuing it with a quality that, by itself, probably justified a PG-13 rating.
—The Hartford Courant
As Cleopatra, McMahon's timbre is rich and warm, with a thrilling finish at the top, an unusual combination in a genre that stresses vocal flexibility. She is nothing short of vocally ravishing in the second act paean to love, "V'adoro pupile." One senses a star in the making.
