Fflur Wyn’s bright-as-a-buttercup Sophie, the perfect foil for her anguished sister Charlotte … all excellent. Richard Morrison, The Times Fflur Wyn is perfect as Charlotte’s younger sister Sophie, battling with her own feelings for the poet.George Hall, The Stage Fflur Wyn is a touching, very teenage Sophie, fascinated yet scared by the adult world around her. Tim Ashley, The Guardian ...and (with) Fflur Wyn as a vivacious Sophie, this was a potent line-up.Fiona Maddocks, The Observer Fflur Wyn is the spirited Sophie. A memorable evening.Andrew Clark, The Financial Times The rest of the cast were also of a very high standard, particularly the young Welsh soprano Fflur Wyn, who was utterly delightful as Charlotte’s chirpy little sister Sophie. Her petite height and youthful good looks means she has no problem passing for a fifteen year old and her sparkling, bell-like soprano has a gorgeous crystalline clarity. The character of Sophie can often come across as irritating in the wrong hands, but Miss Wyn radiates such an infectious natural exuberance that it’s impossible not to warm to this girl whose eyes light up with genuine joy when she sings. Winner of the London Handel Singing Competition in 2005, she is already at the start of a very promising career.Faye Courtney, Opera Britannia

Haydn Harmoniemesse Northern Sinfonia

Replacing renowned soprano Sandrine Piau might have been a daunting prospect for recent graduate Wyn. But she, too, is gathering plaudits. Judging by this performance, there’ll be more to come. Thomas Hall, The Journal

Bach B Minor Mass Oxford

Among the soloists it was soprano Fflur Wyn who shone, growing from a quietly lyrical start to fuller and more expansive drama in the latter movements, and providing a particularly pleasing vocal foil to Christopher Gillett’s forthright tenor in the Domine Deus.

Alexandra Coghlan, The Oxford Times

There is some wonderful singing… Fflur Wyn is an exquisite Pamina.Tim Ashley, The Guardian Fflur Wyn made a charming, diminutive Pamina.Richard Morrison, The Times (Fflur Wyn) sings with appealing clarity.Nick Kimberley, Evening Standard Chief of the pleasures on hand was the utterly beguiling portrayal of Pamina by Fflur Wyn; vocally and physically irresistible.Stuart Jenkins, Musical Pointers What pleasures there are come from some attractive singing, especially by Fflur Wyn as Pamina, and Andrew Staples as Tamino.Warwick Thompson, Intermezzo Fflur Wyn's enchanting Pamina was prim and proper in her early dialogue but brought genuine passion and humanity to her Act Two aria and final scene with the three boys.Hugo Shirley, Musicalcricitism.com Fflur Wyn settled into an exquisitely lyrical performance in the second (act).

In Iphis we had a new soprano to root for, the petite Fflur Wyn - for some years a Bryn Terfel protégée, her knack for quivering with girlish young love made her scenes with Iestyn Davies's Hamor delectably human and dramatic.Geoff Brown, The Times Yet it was soprano Fflur Wyn and counter-tenor Iestyn Davies that made the love of Iphis and her betrothed Hamor so involving. Their beautifully articulated and affecting singing spelled heartbreak by the end.Rian Evans, The Guardian This first night was notable for marking the remarkably assured company and role debuts of the soprano Fflur Wyn and counter-tenor Iestyn Davies as Iphis and her lover Hamor. Their all-consuming passion,destined to remain unconsummated, became the musical and dramatic heart of the work. Wyn’s singing was clear and beautifully articulated, and a natural acting instinct made her pivotal.Rian Evans, Opera For me, however, it was Fflur Wyn as the daughter Iphis who stole the honours last night, her voice quite beautiful and her role an extremely moving one as she prepares for death.Philip Key Daily Post (Liverpool, England) Fflur Wyn, intensely moving as the dutiful Iphis.Jon Holliday, The Stage The early courtship duets between Wyn and Davies are made all the more delightful by his excellent counter-tenor voice, the clarity of her singing and the coquettishness of the personality she creates. It is her acting as she submits herself to tragic ending that her father has prescribed that is one of the highlights of the evening. Michael Kelligan, Theatre in Wales Fflur Wyn as the daughter Iphis gave a truly outstanding performance and the scene where she was bound, blindfolded and gagged sent waves of hurt, helplessness, fear and terror throughout the audience. Her clarity and range of voice was exemplary and her acting skills unrivalled.Philip Shell, Milton Keynes Entertainment Guide

Handel Judas Maccabeus London Handel Festival

Thank goodness for the young Welsh soprano Fflur Wyn as the bright-eyed, feisty Israelitish Woman.Hilary Finch, The Times Fflur Wyn … sang beautifully as the Israelitish Woman: (she) shaped the lovely lines of ‘Fromme Tränen’ with skill and gave a very fine account of the wonderful but difficult ‘Dann tönt der laut’ und Harfe klang’.Melanie Eskenazi, Seen and Heard

Le Nozze di Figaro Garsington

A tiny example; Barbarina, bewitchingly sung by Fflur Wyn.Brian Hick, The Organ

Recital Ely

Fflur Wyn, a beautiful young Welsh diva, sang with warm vibrato and particularly perceptive timing. Her wide range of languages (English, Welsh, French and German) was no barrier to the beauty of her singing. In John Ireland’s songs ‘The Heart’s Desire’ and ‘The Trellis’, she shaped the notes and expression beautifully. The emotional tug of ‘Dafydd y Garreg Wen’ arranged by Matthias was given full value and her interpretation of ‘Mai’ by Meirion Williams exhibited impressive breath control and a light-hearted spirit that made her singing sparkle. The tragedy of ‘C’ from ‘Deux Poemes de Louis Aragon’ by Francis Poulenc balanced perfectly with the rapid French patter of ‘Fêtes Galantes’. Melancholic ardour and rhythmic magnetism pervaded Poulenc’s ‘Metamorphosis’ while deliciously coloured harmonic changes enhanced her singing in ‘Der Hirt auf dem Felsen’ by Franz Schubert.RJW-ANTIPODEAN, BBC Collective
