"Violetta's performance was particular thrilling in both her singing and drama, just lovely to hear and watch.

However the finale of Act II was just out of this world.  We can honestly say that the interpretation, balance and sonority was perfect and is the best we have ever heard - somehow breathing extra life into one of Verdi's powerful scenes."

Wokingham Times 14 July:

"In a generally strong cast, the singing of Erica Eloff in the title role was, both vocally and dramatically, truly outstanding. As well as a seemingly effortless flow of beautiful free sound, her identification with the character of Violetta was subtly developed. 

We were aware from the start that this was an impending tragedy and the realisation of the final aria and death was heart-rending."
