"There is much fine music to discover here and Melba's presentation is up to its usual high standards." (Tony Way, The Age)

 

“Doubt that the dancing stars shine

doubt even that the sun is bright,

and that on the damp earth flowers grow;

doubt tears, doubt smiling,
and doubt that there are angels in paradise,
but believe in love.”
Franco Faccio (Amleto, 1865)

  

Reviews of Elizabeth Whitehouse in performance

 

“Whitehouse is a great singer-actress. Her dramatic range and vocal poise are to be treasured. ... She achieves a beautiful articulation of the German lines and a consistently elegant, warm tone ... Whenever she is on stage, she becomes the keystone of the musical structure.” (The Age) 

Andrea Chenier
“He was partnered by a singer of equal stature, Elizabeth Whitehouse, who is fast becoming a leading soprano of her generation. As Maddalena she was both winsome and exciting, and in ‘La mamma morta’, she sounded uncannily like Renata Tebaldi in her prime.” (Opera News)
