"... Rosamund Illing gave us an exceptionally 
    fine Butterfly. Here is a voice that is warmly lyrical, pulsating with the 
    ebb and flow of the music. When required, she can...invest pure notes lightly 
    sung with great carrying....The performance was of such emotional range that 
    one could certainly forgive Illing for being more than the designated 15 years 
    old."
    Jim Davidson, The Age (July 18, 1994)
