Ava performs the role of Rosina in The Barber of Seville with ENO.

Ava Dodd made a huge impression…She has all the agility Rosina requires, delivering a standout ‘Una voce poco fa’ in the first act. Even better, her soprano voice extends down to the lower reaches perfectly (Rosina can also be sung by a mezzo-soprano, but Dodd seems to be the best of both words). I look forward very much to encountering Ava Dodd onstage again.”


SEEN AND HEARD INTERNATIONAL

“Dodd was equally impressive […] Possessing a golden voice, her virtuosic octave leaps and vocal gymnastics were dispatched with tremendous verve and panache

- Andrew Larkin, Bachtrack

Perdita - Ein Wintermärchen, Wexford Opera Festival

“Soprano Ava Dodd from the Wexford Factory Young Artist Programme was cast as Perdita… Her ability to spin out lyrical, bright, beguiling lines and deliver pleasing coloraturas with apparent ease was particularly impressive.”
