'Rachel Wood was a perfect Titania, with a sublime voice that had a virtuous innocence to it.' FringeOpera.com
'Rachel Wood is outstanding in the title role: she gets a lot of singing to do in a lot of moods, from rapturous to miserable to just plain confused, and her voice is attractive and clear throughout' Bachtrack 'In the title role, Rachel Wood had the most demanding part, and brought to it easily the best diction of the whole cast. Her portrayal fitted well the beleaguered character of Calisto' Early Music Today 'Rachel Wood is charming as the innocent Calisto. With a voice laced with sorrow, it seems as though she is experiencing each emotion for the very first time. Anyone who doubts the emotional impact of baroque opera should listen to her' FringeOpera.com 'The sweet-voiced Rachel Wood offered a more characterful portrayal' Opera Magazine 'Calisto was depicted by Rachel Wood as a lovely, bright little nymph, whose vocal prowess grew in stature during the evening' Opera Brittannica 'Dressed in oversized heels, they tottered around, interrupted, badgered and browbeat Tamino and Papageno, while also acting as harbingers for their Queen. All three voices – soprano, mezzo and deeper mezzo – blended beautifully and Wood, Knights and Wake-Edwards played off one another splendidly as well' The Idle Woman |
