reviews...
Sarah Pring made an unusually impactful acting part of Annina.

Alisa may be a small role vocally, but Sarah Pring was spellbindingly directed as Lucia's rather too-close companion.

Appealing singing, too, came...from Sarah Pring's feisty Marcellina

Sarah Pring's Alisa, seated on stage at the glass harmonica during the Mad Scene, took on some of the prophetic quality of old blind Alice, her avatar in the novel.

Sarah Pring's Annina displayed distinct ‘attitude' towards Alfredo in Act Two and then a touching softening of approach in the final act – a nice touch...

The smaller roles are decently done, with Sarah Pring making more of Violetta's maid Annina than usual, without pushing herself unduly into the limelight.

The supporting cast was, however, dominated by Sarah Pring's marvellous Madame Larina.

However Sarah Pring was brilliant as Madame Larina, Tatyana's mother, one of the few full-blooded voices in the cast.
