Grand Pristess in Verdi's Aida
English National Opera / cond. Edward Gardner / dir. Jo Davies
"Some of the most powerful singing of the evening came from the wonderful Sarah-Jane Davies as the offstage High Priestess. Here was a sense of Verdian line and drama."

Pamina in Mozart's The Magic Flute
English National Opera / cond. Matrin André / dir. Nicholas Hytner
"Probably the evening's highlight, though, was Davies' rendition of Pamina's 'Ach! Ich fühl's'. She'd been impressive enough up up to that point but nothing prepared the audience for this achingly beautiful and vocally impeccable rendition of her aria, with a wonderful floated top G in the penultimate phrase."
Hugo Shirley, Musicalcriticism.com , October 2007
"Andrew Kennedy and Sarah-Jane Davies return to the roles of Tamino and Pamina, ever more royal of mien, and ever more expansive of voice. They are both valiant and feisty.."
Hilary Finch, The Times , October 2007
"Sarah-Jane Davies' Pamina, commands attention with her warmth and clarity of expression"
Laura Battle, Music.omh.com , October 2007
Servilia in Mozart's La Clemenza di Tito
English National Opera / cond. Edward Gardner / dir. David McVicar

Financial Times , June 2007
"Sarah-Jane Davies sings Servilia warmly"
Richard Morrisson, The Times, June 2007
"Sarah-Jane Davies sang intelligently."
