"American tenor Michael Scott sings his heart out to Agnes (Lisa Cassidy) who reciprocates in alluring manner with a confident and emotional performance." Weber’s Der Freischutz, Eastern Daily Press, July 2011.  
"I like your ‘alluring reciprocation’ but I like better your ‘confident and emotional performance’ I thought you were a delight!" - Richard White’s (Director of Claxon Opera) response to review.

“Lisa Cassidy's performance as Agnes in Claxton Opera's Der Freischütz was outstanding. She sang with a wonderfully fluid musicality. Her performance was deeply moving and was in every way the most eloquent and convincing rendition of the role that I have ever seen.”  William Barr, Audience member
