"The superbly casted young singers were the highlight of the
performance, particularly Julie Comparini as the pharmacist's
dominating wife..."

„Julie Comparini sang with a bright, pure mezzo
voice which
complemented Ellen Delahanty's wonderfully clear soprano.
(…)
They brought the style of ornamental Baroque singing style across with
the use of a few props as accessories and so differentiated Ariel the
wind spirit, Prospero the Duke, etc. Julie Comparini's dancing conveyed
the atmosphere of Orsino's court.“

Shakespeare. Opernnetz.de, 8.1.08
