The Times
Heidi Pegler was stunning.
The Scotsman
…the exquisite voice of Heidi Pegler… her sensitive articulation and purity of tone
Kent and Sussex Courier
The highlight of the concert was three cantatas, consisting of recitative and aria, sung by Heidi Pegler. Her expressive platform manner endearing her immediately to the audience, who were spellbound by the beauty of her voice – effortlessly filling the church… her expressive delivery told each story of unrequited love and every note of much florid counterpoint being brilliantly articulated… breath control and musicianship of the finest quality.”
Varsity
The opera sprang to life in the opening scene thanks to the wonderful stage presence of Heidi Pegler in the title role. With her combination of sparkling soprano voice and real acting ability, this singer will surely go far.
Grimsby Courier
An experienced soloist with a rising reputation, her lovely, soaring voice and musical commitment were most impressive. Her performance of Et Incarnatus Est was particularly memorable.
