SUMEI BAO-SMITH
Soprano

‘Sumei Bao-Smith’s gleaming soprano adorns the peaceful coda.’

BBC Music Magazine

​​​

‘The ‘Nunc dimittis’ is no less involving, its pathos given lustre by soprano soloist Sumei Bao-Smith.’

Opera Today

​​

'Plaudits for soprano Sumei Bao-Smith, who soars lightly in the final motet.'​

Gramophone

​

 'Bao-Smith’s voice, both silken smooth and intensely characterful, is remarkable; the audience genuinely sat up straighter in her (thankfully multiple) arias.'

Varsity

​​

'Sumei Bao-Smith’s clear and focussed soprano voice was brightly jubilant as she welcomed her victorious father home and exquisitely loaded with pathos as she lamented her tragic fate, to be slaughtered in return for his triumph. It was a magical moment in the music most beautifully realised by this young and very talented singer. We are all looking forward to hearing her again, many times.'
