Press Reviews

The Elixir of Love, Opera North, Leeds, January 2007

"Anna Ryberg's Adina brims with high spirits, and the lack of steel in her portrayal is compensated for by her warm, effortless coloratura.. The whole evening is as effervescent as the champagne fountain in the pre-nuptial scene. "
Lynne Walker, The Independent, 19.02.07

"Anna Ryberg makes an engaging, gamine Adina.. The experience is so warm-hearted that you leave the theatre feeling positively tanned and healthy. Tell your friends - or, on second thoughts, don't: they'll all want to go."
Alfred Hickling, The Gurdian, 29.01.07

"Anna Ryberg's Adina is a real charmer, under whose initially hard-nosed exterior beats a loving heart. Her coloratura is exquisite, too. Terrific fun, never a dull moment."
