“L’Oiseau de la forêt -ici une charmante chercheuse en blouse blanche tenant un oiseau mécanique à la main, incarnée par l’exquise Victoria Randem- incite le héros à s’emparer de l’anneau et du Tarnhelm. Après que Siegfried aura tué Mime, l’Oiseau lui indiquera comment trouver Brünnhilde.“
- Patrice Lieberman , Crescendo Magazine
“Victoria Randem, elle, interprète Susanna avec l'enthousiasme de la découverte d’un nouveau rôle et cela se ressent dans la chaleur et la brillance qui transparaissent de sa voix.“
- Emma Granier , Bachtrack
“Victoria Randem was an absolute delight as Jano, who in Act 1 brought a few minutes of warmth, love and hope with her coming on thanking Jenůfa for helping her with her education. Her energy was infectious and so delightful, as was her voice, she was a true joy.“

Staatsoper Berlin - Strauss - Ariadne auf Naxos- Echo

Staatsoper Berlin - Strauss - Ariadne auf Naxos- Echo
The other supporting roles were all very well cast at the Lindenoper. It is not to be expected otherwise. Especially the harmony of the three nymphs (Evelin Novak, Natalia Skrycka and Victoria Randem)

Staatsoper Berlin - Verdi - Rigoletto - Countess Ceprano
Victoria Randem, in the minor dual role of Countess Ceprano and the Act two page, delighted with a voice so rich and creamy that the brevity of her appearances was a cause for sorrow.
- Elyse Lyon , Operawire,
Victoria Randem mit behutsam leuchtender Stimme
Opern- & Konzertkritik Berlin
Staatsoper Berlin - Mozart - Die Zauberflöte - Papagena
And the light of Papageno’s life, Papagena, outrageously dressed, too, but in the best tradition of the role, was sung with humour and relish by Norwegian soprano, Victoria Randem, who excelled in her big moment when formulating her true love for the bird-catcher.
- Tony Cooper , Andnate
Es gibt eine neue Papagena (Victoria Randem), die mindestens zwei Pluspunkte mitbringt: lebhaftes Spiel und eine Stimme, in der sich Gefühle spiegeln.
Opern- & Konzertkritik Berlin
The Norwegian National Opera - Mozart - Le Nozze di Figaro - Barbarina
Die junge, dritte norwegische Sopranistin im Bunde, Victoria Randem ließ in der kleinen Rolle der Barbarina plötzlich aufhorchen. Sehr klar, aber überraschend voluminös, erklang ihr „L’oh perduta“ zu Beginn des 4. Akts. Sie wird ab dieser Spielzeit als Mitglied im Opernstudio an der Staatsoper Berlin u. a. als Papagena zu erleben sein.
- Phillip Richter , Das Opernmagazin
On the premiere night, young Victoria Randem also sparked spontaneous and well-deserved cheer in the small but shining role of Barbarina. She is a singer to follow.
