‘Lisa Wilson’s Berenice was beautifully sung, and in her more animated music displayed a pretty formidable technique throughout an impressive range’ Alexander Campbell Classical Source

‘and - most impressive of all - Lisa Wilson's fiery, passionate and credible Berenice.’ Neil Fisher The Times

‘Yet the undoubted star was Lisa Wilson, in the title role. She was powerful but tender, showing real urgency in her demands to hear news of her son… Her suicide, cradling an invisible child in her arms, surrounded by her fellow nuns transporting her to heaven, even managed to escape the trap of melodrama.’ David Allen Varsity
