‘The standout performance was from Angharad Lyddon who sang an impassioned Waltraute with luminous clarity.’

Jim Pritchard Seen and Heard International

‘Angharad Lyddon's Waltraute was very much a highlight’ - Planet Hugill

‘The Waltraute of Angharad Lyddon reported from Valhalla on Wotan’s decline into tragic resignation with singing so fine it gained her the biggest curtain cheer of the night.’ - Roy Westbrook Bachtrack

‘Angharad Lyddon is an excellent Cherubino’ - Sam Smith Music OMH

‘The Irene here is the excellent Angharad Lyddon, easily the most watchable singer on the stage and with a good dark bottom to the voice and plenty of brightness farther up.’ - Stephen Walsh Arts desk

‘Angharad Lyddon’s sophisticated Irene is the perfect match for Tamerlano, her singing bringing to mind Jean Rigby’s in the English National Opera’s Xerxeswith its warm tone and classic phrasing.’ - Melanie Eskenazi Music OMH

‘Angharad Lyddon's Irene was just as strong minded as the others. Using glamour and appearance as one of her weapons, she was completely focused on her putative role as Tamerlano's wife. This was no love-match, but a meeting of powerful minds. Lyddon has a lovely rich mezzo-soprano voice with plenty of strength and character in the lower register, used to great effect here.’ - Planet Hugill
