Critical acclaim as Regan in Tippett’s New Year

Samantha receives praise for her performances as Regan in Keith Warner’s production of Tippett’s New Year with Birmingham Opera Company. Described as ‘Outstandingly well sung,’ (Telegraph), ‘[Her] laser beam soprano soaring as Regan,’(Guardian) and ‘fizzing with authority, humour, strutting sexuality.’ (Edinburgh Music Review). The production was shortlisted for The Opera and Music Theatre Award at the 2025 Royal Philharmonic Society Awards.

British Australian soprano Samantha Crawford is equally at home on the opera stage as she is on the concert platform, who has been praised for her ‘unconstricted soprano radiance,’ (Opera) and ‘crystalline tone and diction.’ (The Arts Desk).
