" Unwin is an experienced Madame Butterfly .... but nothing I have previously heard of her prepared me for the outstanding vocal qualities she displayed here. ...... I don't think I have heard a British Tosca singing so well in English ... Unwin has the blade like edge the role requires, with a penetrating chest voice and gleaming high notes, and she phrased her Act 2 aria quite beautifully .... her stand off with Scarpia in Act 2 was riveting.

Hugh Canning, Opera Magazine

In the title role, Julie Unwin has enough juice in the voice to ride the great climaxes and enough grandeur of manner to convince as the Roman diva capable of wielding a knife when the going gets tough ... ( Scarpia's ) attempted rape of Tosca who - as coolly personified by Unwin - sure is ready for him

George Hall, Observer. Sunday March 12

Julie Unwin's Tosca is highly appealing and she sings Vissi d¹arte with poise and tonal colour

Edward Bhesania, The Stage

As Tosca, Julie Unwin is a conscientious performer with a sound technique and an attractive voice that does the role's lyrical aspects full justice

Rupert Christiansen, Telegraph

"Julie Unwin Flowers into a warm emotional Tosca. Her loathing of the police chief is palpable and the moment she stabs him comes as a visual shock"

Clare Colvin, Sunday Express

"Julie Unwin had energetic command of the jealous heroin"

Neil Fisher, The Times
