Carol Rowlands
Carol Rowlands is a versatile and experienced mezzo soprano whose hallmark is the marriage of a rich, expressive and capable voice with dramatic intensity and conviction, equally telling in deeply serious moments and in high comedy. She is above all a communicator with straightforward musical honesty, and a striking theatrical flare and presence.
"Carol Rowlands' Mrs. Grose was a performance of massive strength"
– The Turn of the Screw, Broomhill Opera
"Possessed of a sensual, blood-coloured voice, fully flexible dynamic range and sackloads of rich emotional impact, Rowlands delivered an Orfeo of heroic stature with pathos to spare. There's only one word. Marvellous."
– Orfeo ed Euridice, John Curry Singers
"Carol Rowlands sets the stage alight as Babulenka ..." "Whilst on stage Rowlands dominated the action."
– The Gambler, Grange Park Opera
"Rowlands was exceptional, dramatically and musically."
– Madame Butterfly, London City Opera USA Tour 2003
