The rest of the huge cast were fabulous in a superb ensemble performance…… But the night, ultimately, belonged to Natalie Montakhab’s overwhelming, completely liberated, uninhibited, raw, sexy, and defiant Vixen: a thrilling, electric performance.
Vixen, Janacek’s The Cunning Little Vixen, Scottish Opera“exactly what a Handel voice should be”
Early Music Review, London Handel Competition Final 2013“wide awake, beautiful soprano voice of Natalie Montakhab.”
Hilary Finch, The Times, Debut Solo Artist Proms 23"Elsie Maynard gets some of the best music in this wonderful score, above all her Act 1 aria (''Tis done! I am a Bride"'). Natalie Montakhab's radiant soprano had just the right brilliance and suppleness here, and near the end of Act 2 ('A Suppliant at thy feet I fall'), her expressive singing and effortless stagecraft made for a moment of the utmost tenderness."
