Reviews

"A poised and delightful performance...her voice filled the Cathedral so beautifully."

The Gibraltar Chronicle. April 2007

An Evening of Operatic Brilliance....
"Susan Coates sang Mozart's stunning aria 'Per Pieta' so beautifully that many in the audience were moved to tears.  Lets hope that White Horse Opera continue to use such glorious soloists in it's future productions."

The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald. March 2006

"Sizzling Carmen...Susan Coates was full of authentic Iberian passion and her Carmen was part vixen, part coquette, part siren and part girl next door.  She imbued the character with such sizzling sexuality it made complete sense of the plot."

Lewis Cowen, Wiltshire Times. 
Carmen; October 2004

"Susan Coates made Laura's main aria one of the most musical of the evening.. with an even delivery of tone."

Rian Evans, Opera Magazine.  
Bath Opera, La Gioconda; April 2004

"Susan Coates combined prettiness and charm with a splendid soprano voice.  Her solo aria was the emotional highspot of the evening."

The Warminster Journal.  Bath Opera,
The Marriage Of Figaro; February 2001

"A most entertaining performance that showed strong and perceptive characterisation and an outstanding sense of comedy.  Flexible facial expression and a powerful singing voice - this performer extracted maximum mileage from her role."

NODA, The Rose Bowl Awards.
Cosi Fan Tutte; October 2002

"Soloist Susan Coates was much appreciated by the audience"... one of the oldest members of the choir remarked "it was the best concert he ever remembered."
