"Griffiths’ mezzo has a lovely darkness at the bottom, capturing the depth of Cinders’ melancholy, and it brightens as it rises, accurately and agilely nailing every individual note in Rossini’s fearsome fioritura."
Opera Today
"Siân Griffiths, as Cenerentola, had a suitably contained demureness to her stage presence which contrasted with her wonderfully rich voice. Her opening song was finely phrased, showing off her warm vibrant tones and sense of line. This was a lovely even instrument, going all the way up and down; the ends of the descending scales in her final rondo were superb"
Planet Hugill
"Claire Lees, Siân Griffiths and Harriet Eyley were a delightful trio of nymphs"
