Planet HugillJust as impressive was Nardus Williams as Donna Elvira. She has a rich creamy, elegant voice and seemed to be singing Donna Elvira fully formed…. this was indeed a very complete and ultimately moving performance.
Opera NowBritish soprano Nardus Williams is another young singer to watch, making her role and house debut as Micaëla. Williams’ strong combination of voice and acting at full tilt was a delight to witness, giving what can be a pallid role some well-deserved life.
Opera Today[Williams] presented a challenging programme which gave ample opportunity for us to appreciate her superbly controlled, sensuous soprano which has sheen and shimmer as well as real focus of tone.
