Explore highlights from Ms. Edmonds' past seasons.
OPERA PHILADELPHIA | MUSIC THEATRE WALES / 2019
"Emily Edmonds and Johnny Herford were hugely impressive… it was the ability to switch between multiple roles and make them sound distinctive which required a more creative and deft artistry."
OPERA TODAY
"With such lean performing forces, quality counts, and we get it in spades in Edmonds’ molasses-and-honey mezzo…"
BROADWAY WORLD
"Herford and Edmonds give blistering performances."
THE SUNDAY TIMES
"Emily Edmonds and Johnny Herford are beyond praise. Onstage throughout the seventy minutes of the work, and required to talk, speak over each other’s singing, move chairs and change places to exact timings, and eventually sustain long lines of vocal polyphony after an hour of role-playing, they perform with riveting artistry."

Katya Kabanova
THE ROYAL OPERA / 2019
"… his lovemaking with Emily Edmonds’ delightful Varvara providing a much-needed dollop of joy in a dark story."
THE TIMES
"... the very real human instincts and indulgences of Emily Edmonds Varvara and Andrew Tortise’s Kudrjas were a welcome relief. Edmonds was full of zest and freedom of spirit - leaping impetuously (and literally) into Kudrjas arms in the ‘garden’ scene."
OPERA TODAY
" … she gave a convincing and stylishly sung performance of this pivotal role."
MUSIC OMH
"... Emily Edmonds, singing beautifully while negotiating the sort of amorous manoeuvres that only exist on the opera stage."
