Opera World, March 2023"The title role is played by the British soprano Mary Bevan, who seems made for the role of Callisto, so remarkable is the expressiveness of her stage performance, to which she lends her sumptuous beauty and the flexibility and brilliance of a crystalline and delicate soprano."
Guardian, November 2022“Mary Bevan as Morgana brought the house down with her act-one showstopper Tornami a vagheggiar”
Opera Today, November 2022"Bevan’s control of colour and line was superb, and her sweet tone heart-winning"
