Reviews and Comments
"The role of the Fairy is a tricky one to bring off. The French coloratura style can sometimes seem brittle and rather cold in tone, but that was not an issue with Audrey Tsang. Her technique is faultless and she produced a faultless stream of dazzling notes while still sounding sympathetic." – Opera Scotland
"Audrey Tsang’s spectacular coloratura as La Fee and the six-piece ensemble around her did their best to steal the show." – The Herald
"La Fée, the Fairy Godmother, is a vocally demanding role for a light coloratura soprano, with lots of trills and vocalise arpeggios at the top of the range, often in harmony and descant ornamentation of Cendrillon’s line. The aural effect is magical and Hong Kong soprano Audrey Tsang realised it magically, supported by the visual design elements, first appearing in the backlit ‘mirror’ over the fireplace in Madame’s apartment, dressed in white with a huge glistening white wig." – Edinburgh Music Review
"Audrey Tsang had the Fairy Godmother’s notes, deftly vocalised" – Opera Magazine
"Tsang was in superb voice from the start" – VoxCarynx
