“But the music sparkles and it is hilarious when village maiden Rose Maybud (Rosanna Harris) flits from one lover to another, then a third within a minute or two.” (https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-6045757/amp/ITS-FRIDAY-OPERA-Heres-Ruddi-good-caper-Gilbert-Sullivan-marvel-at.html) (2018)

“Rose Maybud, the not-as-innocent-as-she-makes-out soprano heroine was Rosanna Harris: her dialogue was charming throughout as were her facial expressions, and her singing a delight, for example her first act song “If somebody there chanced to be”. It was instructive and essential to be able to hear all her words: perfect diction!”( http://operetta-research-center.org/national-gilbert-sullivan-opera-company-ruddigore/) (2018)

“Silvery voiced Rosanna Harris is crystal clear as the hilariously prim Rose Maybud.” (http://www.ilkleygazette.co.uk/leisure/leisure_ents/16417053.review-ruddigore-at-harrogate-international-gs-festival/) (2018)
