“…mezzo Hannah Bennett stepping into the trouser role with a breezy confidence and strong rich voice.”
David Smythe, Bachtrack
“As Lazuli, Hannah Bennett has a rich, auditorium-filling mezzo voice”
Simon Thompson, The Times
“Hannah Bennett made the most of her solos in the trouser role of Lazuli, creating a sympathetic character of fibre and romantic candour while singing with a purity of timbre that brought Frederica von Stade to mind.”
