“The ensemble cast was uniformly excellent. Standouts include Amanda Windred, who was clearly having so much fun with Vava that the whole room couldn’t help but join in."

Melbourne, Cheremushki

David Meadows - Opera Gazette

 "Amongst a fine set of maids, Nicole Youl, Amanda Windred and especially Emily Edmonds stood out for vocal power and use of the text."

Elektra - Sydney Symphony Orchestra 

Limelight Magazine

"Each of the smaller parts were beautifully drawn with some notably solid singing from the three mezzo-sopranos Breanna Stuart (La Suora Infermiera), Shakira Dugan (La Maestra delle Novizie), and Amanda Windred (La Badessa)."

Suor Angelica 

Paul Selar - Arts Review

"It seemed a pity that we only heard one item from Amanda Windred – a serenely languorous performance of Morgen, by Richard Strauss. For a soprano, she has an uncommonly rich voice, and she and pianist Danaë Killian established a calm, contemplative atmosphere in their expressive reading of this famous, much-loved song."
