"With a generous warmth and spontaneity, and singing close to perfection, soprano Anna Devin as the young feral Silva communicated pure joy."

"light, pingy soprano of Anna Devin, a wonderful Sophie who dealt with both pleasure and pain with the lightest of touches."

"the delightfully pretty shimmering tones of Anna Devin, playing Sophie"

"As Charlotte’s younger sister Sophie, Irish soprano Anna Devin blends charm with vulnerability and sings immaculately."

"..Soprano Anna Devin was a wonderful sexy Zerlina and then a superbly gawky and eager Marie in an Act I duet from La Fille du régiment with tenor Ji Hyun Kim’s ardent but awkward Tonio.."

"..Devin shone like the star she is surely destined to become, for she not only has a distinctive, lovely and virtuoso voice, she is also a winning and captivating actress, here as Marie teasing poor old in-love Tonio.."

"..her voice has developed in tone and security, her delivery is much more mature, and she now commands a well extended range of expression.."

"Anna Devin stepped in at the last moment... She has just the kind of voice that makes the soprano arias in this piece an achingly, almost painful emotional experience - sweet and pure, but very sad, the sinuous vocal lines searing and white hot in their smooth intensity....she was largely the most involving of the soloists because she wasn't afraid to use the full palette of vocal expression to her arias. Her pianissimi were particularly affecting."

"soprano Anna Devin — a Jette Parker Young Artist at the Royal Opera House — shone with some bright and resonant singing that soared gracefully and effortlessly"

"the trio of Anna Devin, Madeleine Pierard and Justina Gringyte impressed as the scantily-clad Wood Nymphs"

"Jette Parker Young Artists participating, nymphs Anna Devin, Madeleine Perard, and Justina Gringyte.. all acquitted themselves with glowing colours"

Dvorák’s fairy tale represents grown-up opera at its best

"Anna Devin... her tone was sweeter and her pianissimos were unbelievable."

"how fine was Anna Devin as the soprano soloist"

"Soprano Anna Devin delivers a righteous reading of Poulenc’s Gloria in G major"
