Edinburgh Music Review, review by Brian Bannatyne-Scott Colin Murray, as Aeneas, showed off his mellifluous high baritone to excellent effect, and was a dashing Aeneas. (2024)
Perthshire Advertiser 13 Sep 2024 REVIEW BY MELANIE BONN 'Her love interest the Trojan prince Aeneas, played by Colin Murray, was like a vision from a Scottish Romantic painting: a kilted, leather-clad leader, powerful yet understated and decisive yet flawed as he wrestled with passion versus duty.' (2024)
