  Edinburgh Fringe Festival

  “When The Wanderer summoned Erda from her sleep, Anna Larsson may have looked laid-back and barely awake, but the voice was all there in luscious languor”

  Catroina Graham, The Opera Critic, 8 August 2018

  “Anna Larsson’s smouldering mezzo convinced as Erda”

  ★★★★ David Smythe, Bachtrack, 10 August 2018

  “In the “Song of the Wood Dove” the orchestra and contralto Anna Larsson, on coruscating vocal form, were nothing short of sensational.”
  Jenny Camilleri, Bach Track, 20 April 2018

  04 Feb 18 MAHLER Symphony No.2
  Barbican Centre

  “Anna Larsson’s pale-toned mezzo-soprano floated out of the orchestra, diction crystal clear and full of meaning. Larsson is known for her Mahler and the emphases she gave to each syllable were most enjoyable to hear.”
  Dominic Lowe, Bachtrack, 06 February 2018

  “Anna Larsson’s entry with the “Urlicht” (“Primal Light”) setting was wonderfully ethereal, her alto matching the colours of the poetry.”
  Ivan Hewett, The Telegraph, 7 February 2018

  27 Jan 18 WAGNER Das Rheingold
  Royal Festival Hall

  “It was luxury casting to have Anna Larsson, one of the finest Erdas around today. She has a presence that fills the concert hall before a note is sung; and when she sings, she admits of no alternative interpretation.”
  Colin Clarke, Seen and Heard International, 28 January 2018

  Barbican Centre, London Symphony Orchestra

  “‘Urlicht’ entered with a delicate timbre so beautifully conjured by Anna Larsson; heart-stopping.”
  Edward Clark, Classical Source, 5 June 2016

  Vienna State Opera

  “The second role debut was Anna Larsson as Klytamnestra – another outstanding debut.  Her striking height and dramatic timbre were convincing from the outset.”
  Sebastian Kranner, Der Neue Merker 31 March 2015

  “Anna Larsson as Klytamnestra was an unusually elegant and statuesque character and sang with beauty and lyricism.  This Klytamnestra was a physically frail and sorrowful figure…”
  ★★★★ Ako Imamura, Bachtrack, 2 April 2015

  “Swedish mezzo soprano Anna Larsson was an outstanding Klytamnestra…”
  José M Iruzun, Seen and Heard, 7 April 2015

  “Anna Larsson’s amazing Klytamnestra, a role debut, makes her entrance in a lift, with a dangerously deep, affecting voice.”
  Bo Löfvendahl, SvD Kultur, 31 March 2015

  “Anna Larsson appears as Klytamnestra… creepy and sinister.  Her long, sleek appearance looks so threatening.  Vocally she is very credible.”
  Der Neue Merker, 11 April 2015

  “Anna Larsson’s dungeon-deep contralto perfectly embodied the dread and despair in the Song of the Wood Dove, here a beautiful, statuesque Angel of Death.”
  ★★★★ Jenny Camilleri, Bachtrack, 03 Sept 2014

  “Anna Larsson’s wood-dove is sheer luxury”
  Shirley Apthorp, The Finacial Times, 3 September 2014

  22 Oct 11 Oxford Lieder Festival Recital
  Holywell Music Room, Oxford

  “As well as recitals, there were workshops and talks in what was a very thorough exploration of an area of the song repertory that, outside Scandinavia at least, remains very neglected. Its standout event was a real coup for the festival – an appearance by the great contralto Anna Larsson, accompanied by Matti Hirvonen.”
  ★★★★ Andrew Clements, The Guardian, 23 October 2011
