Baba The Turk for English Touring Opera.
“Young, meanwhile, makes a really fine Baba, funny, self-assured, tellingly compassionate beneath the self-dramatisation.”
Tim Ashley (The Guardian)
“The auction zings along, thanks in large part to Robin Bailey’s exuberant auctioneer Sellem and Lauren Young’s splendidly characterised Baba…”
Richard Morrison (The Times)
“The singing that gave the greatest pleasure, however, was Lauren Young’s take on Baba the Turk…”
(Tim Hochstrasser, Plays To See)
“Lauren Young brings vocal glamour and bags of pizzazz to bearded lady Baba The Turk.”
George Hall (The Stage)
Tisbe for English Touring Opera.
“Cinderella’s sisters were brilliantly cast with Nazan Fikret (Clorinda) and Lauren Young (Tisbe), fully deserving the duet from Semiramide interpolated into the score for the opening of Act 2. La Cenerentola is Rossini’s masterpiece…but when you have singers as accomplished as this in comprimario parts, why not flaunt them?”
(Opera Magazine, Hugh Canning)
“Nazan Fikret and Lauren Young are a well-matched duo as the stepsisters Clorinda and Tisbe, singing with gleaming polish.”
(Rebecca Franks, The Times)
“As the corseted and cossetted Tisbe and Clorinda, Lauren Young and Nazan Fikret, respectively, relished their ghastliness and delivered it which a high gloss finish.”
(Claire Seymour, Opera Today)
