“The leading ladies were impressive…Zoe South was a very assured Jane Seymour”.
Donizetti – Anna Bolena (Gloucestershire Echo, March 2005)

“I was very taken with Zoe South’s Giovanna – her voice never forced, had an impressive range, and she successfully captured the hopeless impotence of the other character”.
Donizetti – Anna Bolena (Chelmsford Weekly News, March 2005)

“Zoe South took centre stage in every respect as Lady Macbeth, and carried Verdi’s typically Italian, intricate melodies with style and poise”.
Verdi – Macbeth (Camden New Journal, January 2005)

“Solo singing was variable, but Zoë South was a thoughtful, understated Gabriel”

“the orchestra relished the opportunity to let rip in one of Bernstein’s wild outbursts, as it did in the bluesy/big-band middle section of ’I, too, sing America’ and ’Okay Negroes’ where Zoe South and Keel Watson put forward their contrasting views on black Americans with an apt sense of conflict.”

“The ambiguities of ’Music I heard with you’ were convincingly conveyed by Zoe South”
Bernstein “Songfest”, Westminster Philharmonic Orchestra, c. Jonathan Butcher

“A complete contrast was On Wenlock Edge, Vaughan Williams' settings of A.E. Houseman's brooding texts. Zoe South, another Silver Lining scholar, gave an impassioned performance, full of emotional depth and intensity. It was a wonder how she managed to sustain the energy so effectively.”
Sophie’s Silver Lining Fund Festival, Chacombe, July 2006 - OXFORD TIMES

“admirably supported by Zoe South as Suzuki”
Puccini - Madama Butterfly, Opera Box, August 2004 - THIS IS PEMBROKESHIRE
