REVIEWS

Fringe Opera: “The bewitching effect of the whole evening is down to its phenomenal female lead –
Belinda Evans - as the goddess Venus.”

Bachtrack: “Belinda Evans as Violetta, embodied the role of the tragic heroine with conviction,
bringing a moving vulnerability to the part. Her character’s
shyness and fragility came across extremely well, while vocally she dazzled, delivering exquisite
coloratura and wonderful phrasing…”

Opera Now: “Belinda Evans’s Rosina coupled a tonal kaleidoscope with outstanding acting ability. Now
coy, now vindictive, she flicked from one emotion to
another with feline unpredictability.”


London Evening Standard: “Belinda Evans’s Rosina is special: an Una Voce Poco Fa that is
commendably controlled, alive with character and even funny.”


The Classical Source: “Belinda Evans was a very charming Rosina with a gorgeous voice that managed
the runs and trills seemingly with little or no effort.”

Career highlights: Autumn 2007 saw Belinda complete a run of The Phantom of the Opera in London's West End following her success when she was chosen from over 6000 hopefuls as a Finalist in the BBC TV series "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?"

In 2003 she represented England singing the National Anthem at The Rugby World Cup in Australia, and has since sung at the BBC Sports Personality 50th Programme and at Wembley Arena.
