    "Alycia Fashae made an extremely successful debut as Leila. Her Soprano has an ideally silvery, French sound. Her coloratura is confident and secure, and she sings WORDS."  

 

  • Sunday Express,"A Scots Star Rises on the Riviera." By David Fingleton

    "Alycia Fashae is a young Scottish Soprano who made her mark last year as Leila in Bizet's The Pearl Fishers for English National Opera at the London Coliseum. Now she has impressed even more with a gloriously sung Donna Anna in the energetic Diva Opera production of Mozarts Don Giovanni and as Antonia in Offenbach's Tales of Hoffmann. Alycia's performances provide two of the highlights of this year's highly successful Opera Azuriales... she sang gorgeously as Antonia."

 

  • Varsity, "Excellent National Opera" By David Warren  
    "... sexy and alluring, Alycia Fashae- the only exception to an otherwise all ENO ensemble, certainly was both. Not only was she visually stunning, her voice was magnificent, her passionate and slightly flirtatious was a delight to hear and fitted her part's character perfectly." (Musetta, La Boheme.)

  

  • Opera Japonica

    "Over at the Coliseum, ENO has a soprano discovery on its hands. Its revival of Les Pecheurs des Perles was originally cast entirely from within the company, but the late arrival of Linda Richardson's baby prevented her from appearing as Leila. In her place is the young Scot, Alycia Fashae, who was originally understudying the role. With crystalline purity of tone and natural musical grace, she is a genuinely interesting artist."

 

  • Bristol Evening Post, By Helen Reid

    "There's a strong trio of female opposition from Alycia Fashae as Mistress Ford, Deborah Hawksley as Mistress Quickly and Lina Markby as Meg Page, and the ensemble work is spot on." (Falstaff for Opera Project)

    "The soloists sing impressively, most notably Alycia Fashae as Gianetta and Nick Sales as Marco, who rise above the limitations of their respective roles to impress." (In The Gondoliers for Carl Rosa)  

 

  • Huddersfield Daily Examiner

    "Alycia Fashae as Leila, thrilled in her trills and displayed a huge vocal dexterity, both in duets with the male leads and in the plaintiff love song Comme Autrefois." (For Swansea City Opera)

 

  • Newbury Weekly News

    "Alycia Fashae ... was a treat: a confident comic actress with a bold, expressive voice and Glaswegian accent, she had us hooked and laughing from the moment she burst onto the stage."(as Adele in Die Fledermaus)

 

  • Opera Magazine, By Nick Kimberly

    "...A characterisation full of sex and sympathy, which is surely what Musetta has in Abundance. No wonder Marcello melts."
