Press

"Ros Evans - hailing form Swansea and destined to go a great deal further - was a delight.

Her interpretation of the work was fresh and charming and she brought the whole place alive

with her mezzo-like quality."

Western Mail - Rutter, "Magnificat"

"Ros Evans' Marcellina was an entirely new take on the character - this was an attractive, sexy

Marcellina and her almost Bartoli-esque delivery of the aria had the auditorium

buzzing with excitement."

Birmingham Mail - Mozart "Le Nozze di Figaro"
