Reviews
Pamina, Mozart’s The Magic Flute, Somerset Opera:
Eloise Routledge brought alive for us the terrors of entrapment by her father’s lecherous servant Monostatos... the vicissitudes of her parental relationships, and the uncertain and at times despairing course of her love life, towards its final happy fulfilment, all excellently conveyed.
Anne Sharp, July 2015
Handel’s Messiah, Bristol Choral Society:
There was a superb quartet of soloists with soprano Eloise Routledge giving a very moving rendition of I Know That My Redeemer Liveth.
John Packwood, The Bristol Post, December 2004
Handel’s Messiah, Wells Cathedral Oratorio Society:
Eloise Routledge produced some beautiful tone and brilliantly placed top notes throughout. Her Aria I know that my redeemer liveth at the start of Part 3 was touchingly sung reflecting the certainty at the heart of the aria. In Part 2 her Recits leading to the great Chorus Glory to God had a real sense of the excitement and wonder at the Christmas message.
David Nicholls, Wells Journal, December 2013
Verdi’s Requiem, Nottingham Festival Chorus:
... soprano Eloise Routledge and mezzo Lucinda Stuart-Grant sand vividly and poignantly.

Maria Bertram, Dove’s Mansfield Park, Heritage Opera:
... On the other hand several of the players bring their characters to the fore by sheer weight of their talent and presence. ... Eloise Routledge is the pick of the younger singers as his troubled daughter Maria.

Impeccable: Eloise Routledge as Maria Bertram
Evening Standard, August 2011
...the two sisters, Maria (Eloise Routledge...) and Julia... were each attractively sung and livelily characterised: Maria obsessed with her prospect of ‘twelve thousand a year’ was one of many highlights

De lieflijkste in het tafareel is Emmeline. Zij wordt temperamentvol vertolkt door de sopraan Eloise Routledge...
The most delightful in the scene is Emmeline. She is spiritedly portrayed by the soprano Eloise Routledge...
De Telegraaf, June 2009
Eloise Routledge was een sterk gecaste Emmeline; een eerzaam, onschuldig meisje...
Eloise Routledge was a strongly cast Emmeline; an honourable, innocent girl...
