Reviews

“Ariodante tends to steal this particular show and with her silvery, shaded mezzo and poetic phrasing no one will have begrudged Angharad Rowlands her ovation. Her ‘Scherza infida’ seemed to suspend time.”

The Spectator

“In the title role, the mezzo-soprano Angharad Rowlands warmed to the task, unleashing her full range of expression in her joyful final aria ‘Dopo notte’. I’d have loved her to sing it all over again.”

The Guardian

“In the opera’s greatest hit ‘Dopo notte’, Rowlands showed great versatility, comfortable stage presence and maintained the jubilant scene with a vibrant, flexible voice, and a confidence in the space.”

Gramophone

“Angharad Rowlands did wonders with her extraordinary, powerfully sung, misanthropic Florence Pike.” 

The Classical Source

“Firm of both tone and pitch and electric in delivery, Angharad Rowlands is certainly one to watch.”
