Reviews
"Bella Marslen as The Vixen was extraordinary; a musical treasure from Western Australia who sang with such accuracy, expression and beauty of tone that after a few minutes the ear took her for granted. She belongs on a bigger stage."
Mark Valencia, Opera Magazine
"Bella Marslen, as The Vixen, captured her wiliness, and matched it with playfulness, making her a delight to watch...Her understanding of the 20th Century vocal idiosyncrasies was evident, and wrapped in with effortless phrasing and supple tone - moving with liquid ease and consistent warmth.
Lauren McQuistin, OperaNow
"Marslen offering a searing and glorious voice of great beauty"
