Anne Marie Stanley

The voice is glorious: rich, deep, and powerful, and with superlative diction...The role can sometimes sound matronly, but Stanley's youthful instrument teems with a life-affirming passion. She's also a consumate actor, conveying [the character's] strict moral principles, her impatience, her vulnerability, and ultimately her decision to die as a final act of defiance... It's a performance of compelling power and passion. -Clive Paget, Musical America Anne Marie recently made her Royal Opera House Main Stage debut as the Third Wood Spirit in Dvořák's Rusalka and her Royal Opera House Linbury Theatre debut as the title role in Benjamin Britten's The Rape of Lucretia.
