| The Wreckers by Ethel Smyth, 2018: “What marked out the evening was teamwork. The palpable enthusiasm of the chorus, whose business was properly organised, was shared by the professional soloists” Martin Dreyer, Opera Magazine |
| The Wreckers by Ethel Smyth, 2018: “Arcadian Opera’s production reveals the stature of Ethel Smyth’s ambitious work.… The cast give a good account of themselves…. Steven East’s fanatical Pascoe and April Fredrick’s Avis head the alarming contingent of villagers, with the chorus’s vengeful hue and cry not far behind. Verdict: ★★★★“ George Hall, The Stage |
| Dido and Anaeas by Henry Purcell, 2020: “Among the first to offer a complete opera (after Covid lockdown) was Arcadian Opera, stealing a march on the many productions of Dido and Aeneas…Ali Marshall’s direction worked very effectively. Arcadian Opera’s music director Justin Lavender conducted a lithe and sprightly performance…. the chorus blended well and sang as sailors and witches with relish.” John Allison, Opera Magazine |
