"Elizabeth Llewellyn was both Clara and Bess. She sang Summertime not as a spectacular solo hit, but as a lullaby, in which Clara's tenderness touches the restlessness of the world around her from the beginning. As Bess, she captured the variability of a woman torn between a desire for security, dependence on Crown, the seduction of Sportin' Life, and the possibility of peace with Porgy. Her soprano had color and expressive sensitivity - and most importantly, she managed to protect Bess from the "fallen woman" schema." (Opera PLUS)

"The famous opening, Clara's Summertime, was performed by Elizabeth Llewellyn, a British soprano familiar with American stages, as Bess. But she sang it with a beautiful cantillation and intimate experience, and then quickly transformed into the provocative Bess, struggling with drug addiction and the violent Crown." (Novinky)

Elizabeth will give an eagerly anticipated recital of opera arias and songs at Berlin's iconic Musikbrauerei with renowned pianist Simon Lepper.
