A Night at the Opera, 2018

"Soprano Charlotte Howes demonstrated a tremendous vocal range and control with portrayal of the full gamut of female wiles in a broad spectrum of roles!  Her Rosina’s aria from ‘The Barber of Seville’ and her Carmen were especially compelling."

​Sue S. Meyer

Cinderella, 2014

"Charlotte Howes’ Cinderella was the best thing in this show by miles. She is on the way to the Royal College of Music, and no surprise there. It was bespoke in every note she sang... The glorious sound lifted her head and shoulders above the rest of the cast...There is a maturity here remarkable for a 20 year old.

Howes has the buxom and battered resilience already of a Donna Elvira...and a Donizettian tragic heroine – Mary Stuart, perhaps – might beckon. It was a pleasure and an uplift every time Howes opened her mouth. One rapidly knew – no exaggeration - one was in for something on a different plane....Amid the jokes about Nando’s and rhyming Bacardi Breezers, she stood out as a beacon of sanity, of vocal beauty and purity and – here was maybe the one intriguing inconsistency – genuine noblesse...

How does one rescript, or reimagine, Rossini for the modern stage? Like this."

Picture
"As Cinderella, Charlotte Howes was wonderful and watchable. And the cast gave an exuberant and polished performance...The grotesque ‘Ugly Sisters’ Gabriella (with the enormous Anna Nicole Smith breasts - Hannah Price) and Daniella (with the tango tan – Katherine Thorogood)...helped Cinderella’s simple emotional honesty shine like a beacon. The music was great, singing amazing...I couldn’t help thinking that Rossini would have approved."
