Rian Evans –The Guardian

Macbeth for English Touring Opera

Eddie Wade brings an Italianate vocal warmth to his Macbeth, moulding and colouring the vocal line with great sensitivity, opening up splendidly for the more dramatic moments. I like his cultured thane out of his depth with murder, a change from the usual hammy histrionics.

David Blewitt – The Stage
