MAGIC OF THE MUSICALS

“Sophie Walby brought to the party a finely tuned soprano presence. She has extensive experience as an operatic and concert soprano and her voice is strong and controlled, responding well to the moods of the songs and projecting the words clearly."
D.R. Lymington Times

POLLY
(The Opera)

“Sophie Walby brought an affecting poise and elegance…..”
Neil Fisher, The Times

HMS PINAFORE
(Comic opera)

“We had the pleasure of Sophie Walby’s wonderful Josephine. From her first entrance to the final chorus she was a marvel. She sang the role with grace and has such a smooth even sound. I also loved her acting, whether earnest or comical. She was perfect for the role.” Nicholas Bartlett, Opera Talent".
Nicholas Bartlett, Opera Talent
