Eliana Pretorian

"while Eliana Pretorian gave two dazzling performances: bringing the text to life, singing with style, colour, and vivacity, and moving with the panache and control of a trained dancer. Were I looking to cast a professional production of Poppea, I'd snap her up in a heartbeat."

- Anna Picard, the Independent, 3 December 2006
