Absolutely breath-taking. From the moment Olivia started I was mesmerised by her flawless voice which made even the most demanding of notes seem effortless. Her passion and dedication shone through and her incredible range and versatility shed light on the great success she will undoubtedly have in the future. I cannot wait to see more of what she has to offer; she will make an outstanding Mimi one day! Brava!

A thrilling event, with a fantastic selection of musical numbers, which perfectly showcased the versatility of both artists. Olivia Doutney was particularly impressive. Her performance was hauntingly powerful, showcasing an incredible range of emotions which brought great depth to each segment of the recital. Vocally Doutney reached the most demanding notes with ease, demonstrating technical skill and an impressive range. Her performance was perfectly complemented by Will Ferguson, whose virtuosity and charisma matched Doutney's flawless delivery.
