What the Press are saying...

'Outstanding'
Mark Brown, The Telegraph (Rosina, The Barber of Seville)

‘Buckland… delivered a seductive and utterly ruthless Carmen. With Buckland, there is no contrived frailty, only strength found in the knowledge of her own lonely independence, with her voice beautifully traversing Bizet’s highs and lows with delicious certainty.’
Tacita Quinn, London Unattached

‘Felicity Buckland, fresh from ENO, is a superb Carmen – her gorgeous mezzo voice is rich and full, especially in the lower ranges and, in the small Arcola space, her eyes often tell the story of her conflicting passions very eloquently. ‘
Owen Davies, Plays to See

‘Mezzo-soprano Felicity Buckland (who incidentally is now a new mum) is superb in this exacting role.’
Mark Aspen (Beggar Woman, Sweeney Todd)

'Felicity Buckland’s Rosina was spirited and convincing.'
Fiona Maddocks, The Guardian

'Mezzo-soprano Felicity Buckland gave an effusive show and augmented the audience’s mind through warm tones and a lush, lyrical brilliance... I was convinced of her masterful technique. Supported by an unflappable knack for breath control, every inch of her range—most notably her chest voice—radiated a deep tone.'
John Vandevert, OperaWire [Messiah]

'It was a huge pleasure to see the accomplished Felicity Buckland in the role of Rosina. Hers was a highly convincing comedic performance from beginning to end, a thoughtful and carefully calculated delivery that was a delight to witness.'
Simon Ames OBE, Surrey Music Reporters

‘Felicity Buckland was a superb Olga. In a role that sometimes gets lost in the shadow of the passion of her sister for Onegin, she sang with a gorgeous fresh tone and flirted with convincing charm.’
Owen Davies, Plays to See

'Felicity Buckland's tender, emotional Dorabella is also capable of plenty of fire, with beautifully observed gesture, natural comic instinct and a warm, lovely tone to her expressive [mezzo-]soprano.'
Charlotte Valori, Operissima

'Felicity Buckland’s Cherubino is a lovely creation, exuding megawatt charm and a commanding sexuality.'
Michael Church, The Independent

'lustrous and convincing'
David Nice, The Arts Desk [Wellgunde, The Rhinegold]

‘the Angel, here sung in a warm and radiant mezzo-soprano by Felicity Buckland – her recurring “Alleluia” managing to pierce the heart on each occasion.’
Richard Balcombe, Bishops Stortford Independent [The Dream of Gerontius]

‘Felicity Buckland’s wonderful Olga imbues the character with
three-dimensionality’
Theatre Bubble

'Felicity Buckland (in a trouser role as the hormonally-challenged page boy Cherubino) is terrifically funny and, delightfully, about as unboyish as one could imagine!... Ms Buckland sounds lovely throughout'
Gary Naylor, Broadway World

'Utterly lovely'
Nick Le Mesurier, Leamington Courier [La Cenerentola]
