Anna Cooper | Reviews

Albert Herring, Nancy
English National Opera, 2025
“As Sid’s girlfriend Nancy, Anna Elizabeth Cooper is sweet-toned and engaging”

Albert Herring, Nancy
English National Opera, 2025
“Superb singing and playing anchor ENO’s first-ever Albert Herring. The catalysts, Dan D’Souza’s Sid and Anna Elizabeth Cooper’s Nancy, spark the evening into life: their collusion has warmth and bite, their duet actually tells the story, and their stage business around the lemonade is crisp, motivated and funny…”
Keith McDonnell, Music OMH

“Anna Cooper’s rich, powerful mezzo soprano voice sang us through the storylines…the standout performer was Anna Cooper, whose force of charisma, both in voice and stage presence, led the whistle stop tour safely through to the end.”
Matthew Connolly, Classical Source
The Duchess of Padua, Ferranti
The Music Troupe, 2024
“Playing Ferranti, Anna Elizabeth Cooper boasts a powerful voice, with maturity in her lower register. She handled the score with control and intensity, moving from naive idealism to a striking dramatic edge.”

Così fan tutte, Dorabella
