Amy Carson - press

'The Cumnor Affair' by Philip Cashian and Iain Pears - 2008
Tete a Tete Opera Company, directed by Bill Bankes Jones at Riverside Studios, Hammersmith

The drama is all in the music, and in its spare, strong characterisations of the young wife herself, sung sweetly by Amy Carson.
Hilary Finch, The Times

Still, there are moments when passions fly, especially when Amy Carson reveals the wronged woman's broken heart. Her voice carries a wealth of feeling.

Amy Carson had many good notes and touching phrases.

And the young soprano Amy Carson caught the ear as the Spirit, popping out from somewhere in the upper circle.

The performances are excellent, particularly newcomer Amy Carson, who could have a huge career ahead of her on the strength of her work here.
Matthew Turner, The ViewLondon Review

Amy Carson, the cast's biggest unknown, a cambridge student when Branagh picked her, offers an eloquent Pamina, full of potential and spunk. She doesn't shrivel even when singing alongside Lyubov Petrova's blowtorch Queen of the Night.
Geoff Brown, Opera

Except for the unknown Amy Carson, very sweet and credible as Pamina, Branagh has cast the romantic leads with rising opera stars who sing superbly but fall straight into the old trap of giving stage performances in close-up.
Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph

The supermodel-pretty Carson displays an opera diva's acting skills but still, like the rest of her colleagues, she's a wondrous singer.

Amy Carson, a gorgeous, bright-eyed, charming Pamina.

Petrova makes a good Queen of the Night and Carson a substantial Pamina
Derek Elley. Variety

Bristolian newcomer Amy Carson is outstanding as love-interest Pamina, flagging a depth of emotion that plays alongside the limpid widescreen photography and soaring overhead shots.
