"James Edwards, singing Hoffmann, produced some lovely tenor singing: a full-throated sound, well supported throughout and hardly a sign of strain throughout a long evening’s sing...Edwards, on this showing, is starting to fulfil the promise of his Covent Garden Young Artists Programme. I really enjoyed his assumption of the role."
