Comments on Helen-Jane:


"The arias chosen came mainly from Acis and Galatea, Giulio Cesare, Serse and Semele, and it was soprano Helen-Jane Howells -heard in the previous Kempe concert with very different reprtoire - who sang them with incomparable beauty of vocal treatment and passionate expression.  Her dazzling coloratura alternating with highly sensual and often poignant lyricism was simply stunning".  The Stratford Herald.

"Helen-Jane Howells, soprano, in her performance of songs by Strauss and Mahler, spun a beautiful line and showed off her glorious top register.  The pianissimo ending of Mahler's Ging heut morgen was stunning". The Farnham Herald

Review of the opera Love in Transit (role: 'Barbara', a diva!), "Whilst all the roles were very competently sung, the star of the performance, in more ways than one, was undoubtedly Helen-Jane Howells, the blonde ‘diva’.  She has a beautiful clear soprano voice, and excellent diction.  She is a singer to watch out for the future; already assured, confident in the command of her vocal range, and with a strong stage presence".  Leszek Marcinowicz, Capriccio

“She has a star studded career ahead of her”, Mary King. “First class”, Terry Edwards, judges at the John Warner Competition

Review of the Brahms Requiem, Sussex Chorus, Nov. 2008:  "The soloists Helen-Jane Howells and Douglas Rice-Bowen were at the top of their game and seemed to lift the response of the audience. . . Any confidence the choir may have lacked in the opening was quickly recovered by the example of Helen-Jane Howells, whose soaring line was radiant in tone and had a seemingly effortless delivery.  Her feeling for the phrases was matched by. . (Douglas R-B)".  Mark Gale, Midsussex Times

“Awarded not only because of the beauty of her singing, but her professionalism throughout this competition”, the Russell Sheppard Scholarship
