“Splendid bass Anthony Reed is the home-loving Collatinus…” Claudia Pritchard, Culture Whisper, 13 November 2022
“Anthony Reed as Collatinus revealed a beautifully focused voice and, more, convincing expressions of continued love in the second act.” Colin Clarke, Seen and Heard International, 15 November 2022
“American bass Anthony Reed as Lucretia’s husband Collatinus has a fabulous and commanding resonant bass voice. He is a stern presence and the only adult in the room. After Lucretia’s death, Reed acts superbly, hands quivering, totally lost and trying to make sense of the senseless.” Adrian York, London Unattached, 14 November 2022
