Reviews

“A veritable dramatic and musical peak, Rabot delivering monotonous recitative with quasi-Wagnerian portentousness”

Opera Magazine

“Ann Murray’s Lifetime Achievement Award Gala Concert in Dublin included a cross-generational selection of singers, and the audience favourites were clearly Shahbazi and Rabot.”
