“The singer who really brought the show to life for me was Louise Alder flown down from Perth to understudy the vibrant role of Atalanta” (Xerxes, ETO) - Birmingham Post October 2011 “Vocally top marks go to the two nurses, Lejderman and Alder. Both these singers produced lovely, bright, crystal-clear soprano singing throughout and neither seemed the slightest bit phased by any of the coloratura passages Purcell threw at them. Perhaps most importantly of all, while each offered a distinctive rage of vocal colours, the voices blended beautifully together - some of the best-matched female duet singing I’ve heard for a while in fact - aided by excellent intonation from each singer.” (Fairy Queen, ETO) - Opera Britannia October 2011 “Louise Alder’s enchanting and emotional portrayal of the Vixen was unparalleled throughout. Her voice demanded the audience’s attention from her opening line, and triumphed the arduous leaps and challenges of Janacek’s music with apparent ease. Particularly beautiful were her scenes with the Fox (Suzanne McGrath) in which both voices together created incredibly intense emotions and atmospheres, whether these be comedic, solemn, flirtatious or romantic.” - www.thepublicreviews.com February 2010 “the eponymous Vixen (a show-stealing performance from Louise Alder) was particularly clear” - www.wheresrunnicles.com February 2010 “All of the cast deliver an exhilarating performance, however credit seems especially due to Louise Alder for her portrayal of the lead. Her distinctive voice resonates even after the curtain has fallen.” (The Cunning Little Vixen) - The Student March 2010 “Soprano soloist Louise Alder captivates every member of the audience with her strong and passionate performance.” (Carmina Burana) - The Journal November 2009 “The role of Poppea, one of opera’s earliest sex kittens, was deliciously lapped up by Louise Alder. She made an instant impression with Vaghe perle, eletti fiori... The gaiety of Handel’s music and her delivery infused the auditorium.” - www.musicweb-international.com September 2009 “Most certainly one to watch for the future..” “Louise Alder's poignant performance as Venus displays well the tenderness and sorrow of her character’s situation especially in the final death scene.” - The Journal April 2008 “Louise Alder... again demonstrates her amazing voice.” - The Student February 2008 “ Louise Alder, is fast proving herself to be something of an emerging star. Her voice is spectacular and her performance full of the kind of sass that brings to mind the classical film heroines of days gone by... At the risk of sounding detrimental to the rest of the cast, she leaves everyone else looking ordinary and is most certainly one to watch for the future.” - The Journal March 2008 “She captures every nuance of the music” “Louise Alder... possesses a truly superb voice and was a pleasure to listen to as well as watch.” - The Student January 2007 © 2012 Louise Alder, all rights reserved.http://www.thepublicreviews.comhttp://www.wheresrunnicles.comhttp://www.web-music.comshapeimage_2_link_0shapeimage_2_link_1shapeimage_2_link_2
