“Christopher Elliott used a voice of rare beauty to excellent effect as Ottavio. His recitative delivery was utterly delightful and worth the ticket price alone...His performance...leads me to the conclusion that this must be one of the best voices to have come out of the RSAMD for some time” - Opera Now Magazine
