Audience reviews

Opera’s Heroines at the Pinner Festival June 22

“Thank you all so very much for an astonishing evening of superb singing and entertainment – in the widest sense. We are all absolutely delighted, deeply impressed and profoundly moved by Opera’s Heroines & Sister Angelica. You all contributed so much to a remarkable occasion, which was hugely appreciated by everyone (and I agree with all their feedback many-fold).

After the first half, which balanced the whole evening very well indeed, people were talking about your fantastic singing and commitment, and lovely stage presences.

After the second half, people were in tears or close, and visibly moved by their engagement with the opera, which mirrored the total engagement of Megan and the whole cast – each one a star! People will remember this production for a very long time.

The skilful use of the space and the truly brilliant lighting effects were widely commended.

The orchestra were fantastic, very effectively supporting and enhancing the action and singing.

Thank you all for working with us and making for such a marvellous evening.

Very best wishes and sincere congratulations to every one of you”.
