★★★★★ For Così at Garsington

Thrilled to have received really positive reviews for my performances as Fiordiligi in Mozart’s Così fan tutte for Garsington Opera (Summer 2022):

“…the ladies were a triumphant trio. Camilla Harris had been the understudy for Fiordiligi, and when the original soprano in the role had to withdraw through illness, she took over with sensational results. Dignified in manner, elegant in presence and scrupulously musical in interpretation, her arias were high points, fearlessly negotiating the challenges yet producing beautifully soft tone when required.” ★★★★

— Melanie Eskenazi for Music OMH

“Singing Fiordiligi with infinite grace, the soprano Camilla Harris becomes the beating heart of this sparkling production,” ★★★★★

— Michael Church for iNews

“Camilla Harris’s commandingly sung Fiordiligi — remarkably, her stage debut with a major company.” ★★★★

— Neil Fisher for The Times

“Camilla Harris sings Fiordiligi’s “Come scoglio” with a secure command of its perilous leaps of register, and crucially without putting on airs of eternal chastity.” ★★★★

— Peter Quantrill for The Arts Desk

“Camilla Harris is an impressively steadfast Fiordiligi, only rarely breaking into smiles. Her ‘Come scoglio’ really sounded as if ‘this lady’s not for turning’, confidently dispatching the aria’s demanding leaps and rising admirably to the challenge of ‘Per pietà’”

— David Truslove for Opera Today

“Fiordiligi, (Camilla Harris) is an elegant blonde with a warm, sweet tone who, though virginal in looks is not above a fit of giggles. Harris was promoted from understudy at very short notice after impressing the artistic team.” ★★★★

— Amanda Holloway for The Stage

“Similarly distinctively drawn were the sisters from a thrilling Camilla Harris as a more serious and more difficult to seduce Fiordiligi… Camilla Harris well deserved the audience’s enthusiasm at the curtain call.”

— Mike Smith for Opera Scene
