Musetta — La bohème

Glyndebourne, Autumn 2025

“Camilla Harris delivered a remarkably mature Musetta for a soprano so young; confident, feisty and convincingly spirited. Her ‘Quando m’en vo’ was wonderfully coquettish, whilst her lines in the final act were delivered with suitable solemnity. She has a beautifully nuanced soprano voice…”

Opera Wire — Mike Hardy

“Camilla Harris’s assured, feisty and ever-so chic Musetta.”

The Guardian — Clive Paget

Helena — A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Opera North, 2024

“A delightful Helena… delivering the musical goods with skill.”

The Arts Desk

Fiordiligi — Così fan tutte

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.” ★★★★

MusicOMH — Melanie Eskenazi

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

iNews — Michael Church

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

The Times — Neil Fisher

“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.” ★★★★

The Arts Desk — Peter Quantrill

“Camilla Harris is an impressively steadfast Fiordiligi… confidently dispatching the aria’s demanding leaps and rising admirably to the challenge of ‘Per pietà’.”

Opera Today — David Truslove

Countess — Le nozze di Figaro

HGO, November 2021

“Camilla Harris’s Countess truly had one sit up upon her vocal appearance… in a performance as beautifully sung as it was intelligently presented. Long after the final chord, one remained haunted by the devastation on the Countess’s face.”

Opera Today / Boulezian — Mark Berry

“The superb lyricism of Camilla Harris’s Countess, her two big numbers the epitome of Mozartean charm and emotional depth. Her voice has real command, and she brings a lightness of touch to the role.”

Seen and Heard International — Colin Clarke

“Camilla Harris as the Countess gave all the sadness and gravity needed for ‘Porgi amor’.”

Plays to See — Owen Davies

“Camilla Harris as the betrayed Countess sings a heart-rending ‘Dove sono i bei momenti’.”
