• “An unforgettable Queen of the Night.”

    —SGN

  • “La soprano Sharleen Joynt est une Cunégonde stupéfiante d’un bout à l’autre et met K.O. debout la salle dans son air virtuose « Glitter and be gay », dont les vocalises d’une fluidité remarquable sont en outre impeccablement projetées.”

    —ResMusica

  • “We know we’re in for an acting treat when we see Sharleen Joynt’s overpoweringly supercilious, impeccably turned out Controller, prowling her control tower and pulling the strings; we see her arched eyebrows and penetrating stare in close-up as she delivers stratospheric coloratura. ”

    —Bachtrack

  • “The Prima Donna was portrayed by the captivating Sharleen Joynt. Donizetti sets Daria’s tessitura punishingly high at times yet Joynt soared up to her top notes with power and finesse. Her acting too was a joy to behold with terrifically catty, solipsistic behaviour. ”

    —Bachtrack

  • "Joynt tossed off Musetta’s Waltz with carefree abandon and it would take a singer of considerable ability and charisma to match her in sheer vocal and stage presence."
