  • Fflur Wyn Selected Reviews
    Fflur Wyn Selected Reviews Todd Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (Title role), Welsh National Opera (June 2021) “Fflur Wyn, who first created the role of Alice for OHP, is again the out-and-out star. A gifted actor, her warmly lyrical soprano carries effortlessly.” - Rian Evans, The Guardian “The Welsh National Opera makes a triumphant return to the stage with a bravura performance of the children’s story which has Fflur Wyn as a beguiling Alice” - Morning Star Online***** Beethoven Fidelio (Marzelline), Opera North (June 2021) “Flur Wyn played Marzelline, daughter of the prison warden Rocco, and Oliver Johnson her paramour (and his assistant) Jaquino; their comic interactions were touching” - Ivan Hewett, Telegraph***** “…both hit their marks every time, Wyn’s crystalline soprano topping many early ensembles” - Ron Simpson, The Reviews Hub***** “The youngsters, sung by Oliver Johnston and Fflur Wyn, were similarly more vivid.” – Martin Dreyer, Opera Magazine Beethoven Fidelio (Marzelline), Opera North (December 2020) “Youthful charm exuded from Fflur Wyn” - Telegraph “Fflur Wyn, who was Marzelline also in the 2011 Opera North staged production, slots into her role with ease, and the great canon quartet, “Mir ist so wunderbar”, is cleverly presented as well as beautifully sung.” - Robert Beale, The Arts Desk “Fflur Wyn’s bright, sympathetic Marzelline” - Fiona Maddocks, The Guardian***** “Fflur Wyn – another whose voice has grown in recent years – made a warm Marzelline…” - Opera Magazine Opera Now: Artist in focus “Vivetta in Cilea’s L’arlesiana is the sort of role that can become lost in the emotional verismo maelstrom, but Fflur Wyn’s pure but mettlesome soprano and affecting stage presence ensured she stood out in Opera Holland Parks production last summer.

  • Scottish Episcopal Institute Journal
    Scottish Episcopal Institute Journal Winter 2020 — Volume 4.4 A quarterly journal for debate on current issues in the Anglican Communion and beyond Scottish Episcopal Institute Journal Volume 4.4 — Winter 2020 — ISSN 2399-8989 EDITORIAL The Winter 2020 issue of the Scottish Episcopal Institute Journal is rich and varied. In addition to an article by John N. Collins, an international scholar of the diaconate, there are six articles on the vocational diaconate by authors linked to the Scottish Episcopal Church: John Reuben Davies, Norma Higgott, Stephen Mark Holmes, Harriet Johnston, Richard Tiplady and Anne Tomlinson; the Scottish Episcopal Institute Annual Lecture 2020 by the missiologist Cathy Ross entitled ‘Mission and Formation in a Time of Lament and Hope: Reflections after COVID-19’; a response to the Doctrine Committee’s ‘Theology of Authority in the Ministry of the Church’ (Grosvenor Essay no. 13) by John Hind; an article about pilgrimage and running by Mark Calder; an informal reflection on ministerial practice by Gregor Duncan; and, finally, five book reviews. This Winter issue marks four years for the Journal, with sixteen issues having come online since Spring 2017. Thanks are due to those whose contributions over these last four years have made the Journal a significant source of theological reflection in Scotland and the Anglican Communion, especially Nicholas Taylor and Alistair Mason, who both stand down from membership on the Editorial Board at the end of this calendar year. As we approach the Fourth Sunday of Advent, our Prime Minister and First Minister have both announced renewed restrictions in light of a new strain of the Covid-19 virus.
