“Stephanie Marshall (Tessa) in her 1950’s primary-coloured print frock suggesting an old Doris Day movie, both looked and sounded ravishing.”
Michael Billington, The Guardian

Rodney Milnes, Opera Magazine

Erica Jeal, The Guardian

The smaller vocal parts were all well taken, with a sensuous blend of vibrato and tone from Stephanie Marshall (Annio).
Roger Parker, Opera

Stephanie Marshall also had a considerable success as Annio: hers is a lovely voice with a bright shimmering top and a warm and confident middle register, and she made her character entirely credible.

Twice Through the Heart

Wed, 28 Jan 2004 15:47:34 -0500

A potent account of Turnage's keen melodrama Twice Through the Heart. Stephanie Marshall, a Canadian mezzo at the Academy, has a voice of individual and poignant timbre.

Her sound flowed freely, strongly, passionately, and purely. Her conception and embodiment of Turnage's dramatic sequence - eyes expressive, moves and stations eloquent while she sang the words - was stirring.

She's a singer who stirred me, one I look forward to hearing again.

The Handmaid's Tale

“ENO’s performance has a stunning centrepiece in Stephanie Marshall...She holds the stage with quite authority and artless concentration, in a way that vividly illuminates Offred’s emotional, sexual and psychological dilemmas. And she sings with radiant purity.”
Andrew Clark, Financial Times

“Stephanie Marshall’s performance as Offred is brave and intense.”
Brian Hunt, Evening Standard

“Stephanie Marshall is outstanding as the post-revolution Offred, as supple in voice as she is in body.”
Andrew Clements, The Guardian

2001 Kathleen Ferrier Award

Tue, 10 Sep 2002 18:53:09 -0400

“Confidence and command radiated from Stephanie Marshall the moment she stepped through the door, stunningly attired in full-length, off the shoulder cerise. The Ferrier winner – already set for the title role in Poul Ruder’s The Handmaid’s Tale at ENO – plumped for breadth of repertoire. She knows how to pitch her voice’s clarion call, coloured up and down with low-level vibrato. In the quicksilver repertoire, Marshall felt her way through with no problem: the mingled fear and delight of Grieg’s With a waterlily got the house shivering. Her Vaughn Williams beguiled, and her American selections (Bolcom’s Amor especially) swept us away in smiles. “
Geoff Brown, The Times
