Critical Acclaim "The excellent soloist Fiona Kimm, seductive, scarifying, imploring by turn". "Again, it is the care with the words and the beauty of the voice that make Kimm such a valuable artist". "Fiona Kimm brings Azucena vividly to life through her voice - her lower register is used to particularly chilling effect". "Fiona Kimm - the Marcellina, who looks like an intoxicating amalgam of Ava Gardiner, Sophia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida - runs away with the show, even without her aria." "…the production sprang to life - Fiona Kimm came on as Froufrou, and you could understand everything she sang". "Fiona Kimm as a smouldering mix of fairy godmother and femme fatale." "Fiona Kimm, as Julie, is so good that one resents that she hasn't more to do" "A flawless Larina" "…a masterly asset in the outstanding character mezzo Fiona Kimm, who brought to the gypsy Azucena - as besotting and bewitching as Carmen - the kind of visual fire and vocal power, notably a superb low register, one looks for on the national opera stage, where Kimm is an acclaimed regular." "Fiona Kimm was a voluptuous soloist, tortured in her cry for love, compelling in her lowest range." "I don't know why such a sexy voice gets to sing so many trouser roles but the result is piquant!"

"Fiona Kimm…explored some of these songs in association with others by Wolf, but revealed a most perceptive sense of their character as well as her familiar beauty of mezzo tone. Whether benevolent, passionate or aspiring in Schoenberg, and from sadness to humour in Wolf, she captured the spirit of her songs in a way that made one wish to hear her more often in this repertory." "Fiona Kimm's Fricka - a commanding interpretation" "Fiona Kimm ……combines technical excellence, a genuine involvement with the text and a poise and phrasal shape that is always musical. She was memorable in the Mahler, the highlight of the concert. From her there was an Expressionist realisation that pointed this music just that little nearer to Schoenberg - the stylistically-evolving final stages of Gurrelieder for instance………" (A selection of reviews from The Times, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, The Observer, The Daily Telegraph, The Sunday Telegraph, The Financial Times, The Independent, The Independent on Sunday, Opera Magazine, Opera Now, Time Out Magazine and others)
