The eight other valkyries are another highlight of the production, singing with ferocity and, being a band of battle-hardened sisters, falling only to Wotan’s wrath; the ensemble work here was spectacular.
Juliet Lewis for London Unattached
If I had eight more hats, I would take them off to the Valkyries. Charlotte Richardson, Shannon Roberts, Catherine Backhouse, Grainne Gillis, Philippa Boyle, Magdalen Ashman, Grace Maria Wain and Caroline Carragher, one of the most formidable and closely-knit teams of warrior maidens I have heard in a long while. Bravi tutti.
Katie Barnes for The Wagner Society
The Valkyries had clearly been well-coached and enthusiastically tackled all that Wagner demands of them, and they sounded one of the best octets I have ever heard when singing together
Jim Pritchard for Seen and Heard International
The ‘Ritt der Walküren’ is brilliantly rendered as the Valkyrie sing and move to excellent effect.
Sam Smith for MusicOMH
The entrance of the Valkyrie is especially exhilarating, the effect magnified by their giddy costumes, punk- and goth-inspired in a variety of colours… The audience rose to its feet at the end of the performance – a good omen for the remainder of the cycle.
Inge Kjemtrup for The Stage
…the company have chosen well. As have they with her sisters, a fantastically well-balanced ensemble, who delighted in the opera’s showstopping opening to Act 3.
