New York Post Page Six
“She was able to bridge the gulf between the disparate Groups in society. Rock Icons like DUFF McKagan and Matt Sorin of Velevet Revolver, Brett Scallions from Fuel, along with Korn watched her intoxicating Opera Performance at Snitch, New York. “
Review "Tribecca Filmfestival" by Adhara Morales, Concierge, New York Palace Hotel
Special performance by Tanya Valentin, a German diva who approached the stage in the middle of the room wearing a large renaissance wig with blond ringlets framing her face and two painted black moons with stars that clung to her cheekbones. Her make up was fierce but her performance was even more captivating. Against the background of electronic music her voice gave way to an enchanting operatic number that left everyone in the room speechless. Her dramatic poses and unforgettable singing were quite a sight, enhanced by a burlesque, black lace wardrobe.
TJ.Sabo, Editor of GADA magazine:

Tanya uses her passion for music and sensitivity for visual arts to render ...pieces that are poetic...layers that caress your body and more your spirit.”
Bon Magazine:
“... renaissance romance meets avant-garde future of music..”
