So this happened last night..... Thank you for the EPIC amount of messages/wishes. I can tell you that a @MetOpera jump in as Norma is not for the faint hearted! But, I got to make MUSIC to the highest level with fab colleagues, and that's the part I'm most grateful for.

Firstly, you look beautiful, so elated and happy. Secondly, your voice is like listening to the golden thread of voices from the first half of the 20th century. Pitch, timbre, diction, PHRASING. I am transported. La Voce! La Voce!
"La Straniera was brought alive by the bel canto ardency of Dix, who was a champion of the leading role. When Alaide is finally allowed her own voice, Dix successfully brought out the parts echoes of Norma and made the evening worthwhile." 🥰🥰🥰 Thank you @RobertHugill
"Dix was magnificent and utterly tireless, effortlessly riding the combined forces, but she could provide real tenderness, too, her aria a highlight . This is one of Bellini’s sublime melodies and needs exactly the long-line legato Dix found." @SeenandHeardInt 🎶 👂
"Helena Dix as Alaide, was the star of the evening. With exceptional control and a sumptuous warmth throughout her range - as well as the best acting skills on stage - Dix brought something world class to the Cadogan Hall." Thank you @Operanow gramophone.co.uk/opera-now/revi…
"Helena Dix has become one of the company’s ‘resident’ stars, and here her virtuosity, dynamic control, theatrical sense, and vocal luxuriance were top notch. By any standards this was great Bel canto singing." 😍😍
