Clemenza di Tito, National Opera
“Delivering magnificent soulfulness and grit, Catherine Carby convinced in portraying Sesto’s unrequited love for Vitellia while being putty in her hands, her Act 1 Parto, parto, ma tu, ben mio an especially throttling display of heartfelt emotion in agreeing to murder Tito.”

“…Carby sounds extraordinarily beautiful as her voice cleaves through Gluck’s soaring lines”
