REVIEWS - 2013

Anna Bolena, Welsh National Opera, UK

Alastair Miles's Enrico is a tour de force of gritty, granite bass characterisation, striated with the cruelty of weakness.

Hilary Finch, The Times

Alastair Miles turns in one of his best performances as a thuggish Enrico.

Andrew Clark, The Financial Times

Bass Alastair Miles is commanding as Henry; his scraggly hair makes him look more barbaric than regal, but that's the way this king behaves.

George Loomis, The New York Times

Maria Stuarda, Welsh National Opera, UK

The bass Alastair Miles, whose sanguine authority is ever intact whatever role he plays, was the loyal Talbot, tenderly preparing Mary for the scaffold.

Fiona Maddocks, The Observer

Mr Miles sings warmly as Mary's consoling Talbot.

George Loomis, The New York Times
