"...Anne was sung, with radiant intensity, by Rhiannon Llewellyn..." MICHAEL TANNER, THE SPECTATOR (2015)

"Rhiannon Llewellyn as Anne Trulove brought a lovely tenderness to the role that peaked in the Act III lullaby. She possesses a warm tone quality and the voice really shone when she let it go... she is certainly an artist to follow." BACHTRACK (2015)

"Rhiannon Llewellyn had all you could want – clear, accurate high notes especially – as a tender but spirited Anne Trulove." FIONA MADDOCKS, THE OBSERVER (2015)

"Rhiannon Llewellyn’s Anne combined grace and beauty to a properly euphonious degree; her first act aria was very fine indeed." SEEN AND HEARD INTERNATIONAL (2015)

"Again, the ensemble performance was terrific, but particularly memorable were the silky diction of Rhiannon Llewellyn as Nella, and the imposing sounds made by Tristan Hambleton as Simone and the two Bettos, Božidar Smiljanić and Alistair Ollerenshaw." OPERA MAGAZINE (2014)

'"As Armida, demon sorceress and secret weapon of Rinaldo's opponent, the tiger-taming King Argante (soprano Rhiannon Llewellyn) is vocally nuanced while appearing brazenly sexy." RIAN EVANS, THE GUARDIAN (2014)

"Musically and dramatically this production was tremendously satisfying, and such was the standard it was difficult to tell the newcomers and more experienced singers apart... haughty Rhiannon Llewellyn frightened the life out of me as the domineering and threatening Armida." SEEN AND HEARD INTERNATIONAL (2014)

"Rhiannon Llewellyn as Dalinda (Ginevra’s lady-in waiting) was the most consistently satisfying role in terms of musical projection and interpretation, by no means becoming a mere foil for her mistress." CLASSICAL SOURCE (2014)

"Rhiannon Llewellyn gives a subtle, delightfully sung performance as the easily swayed Dalinda." RICHARD MORRISON, THE TIMES (2014)

"Rhiannon Llewellyn was excellently cast as the sorceress Armida, with bold dramatic choices in her acting which portrayed the fiery, passionate and capricious nature of her character, as well as performing some terrific singing. She had an easy agility for the runs and a wonderful control to her voice, able to diminuendo to pianissimo with expression, which was well demonstrated in the second half of Act II." EARLY MUSIC REVIEW (2014)

"Rhiannon Llewellyn's Dalinda was at once sensual and maternal, and wonderfully animated throughout. Polished and mature, she acted with sophisticated emotion and engaged the audience from the start with her beguiling soprano." BACHTRACK (2014)

"The cast was stunning. There was real maturity in these young voiceS, with strength and control and astonishing technique all round... Rhiannon Llewellyn sang Dalinda with art." ROBERT THICKNESSE, OPERA NOW (2014)

"...Fuchs depiction of the Sandman at the end of act two (finely sung by Rhiannon Llewellyn) had been genuinely creepy and avoided the cutesy... Both Rhiannon Llewellyn, as the Sandman, and Ruth Jenkins as the Dew Fairy, contributed beautifully poised accounts of their arias." OPERA TODAY (2013)

"...Rhiannon Llewellyn is even younger, being still on the post-graduate programme at the Royal Academy, but she sings the important cameo role of the Sandman with great confidence and clarity." DAVID MELLOR, THE MAIL ON SUNDAY (2013)

"Both delivering their cameo appearances with perfect neatness, Rhiannon Llewellyn's Sandman – with an eerie suggestion of Nosferatu in her makeup and costuming – and Ruth Jenkin's Dew Fairy, more saccharine in her appearance – complete a strong cast." THE GUARDIAN (2013)

"The Sandman (Rhiannon Llewellyn) and Dew Fairy (Ruth Jenkins) were both beautifully sung and suitably magical." CLASSICAL SOURCE (2013)

"Two operatic newcomers impress in smaller roles: Rhiannon Llewellyn, currently at the Royal Academy of Music, is a Nosferatu-like Sandman, and Ruth Jenkins a perk Dew Fairy in tartan tutu." SUNDAY EXPRESS (2013)
