Alison Barton’s playing of Mrs. Herring, ruddy faced, excitable
and bullying leaves no doubt that Albert is completely in her thrall.
Perthshire Advertiser

The fact that "Herring" turns on a knife-edge between comedy
and tragedy was skilfully drawn by Alison Barton.
Conrad Wilson, The Herald

Alison Barton’s Mrs. Herring is splendidly blousy and suffocating.
Mary Millar, The Scotsman

Alison Barton had a beautifully warm mezzo, perfectly suited to the Guardian Angel. Expressive legato phrasing and unstrained top notes were enviable assets in the role.
The Hamilton Advertiser

Alison Barton’s "Suzuki", strong and loyal to Butterfly,
forms a solid partnership with the heroine.
The Scotsman

Alison Barton’s "Suzuki" is a delight, warm and funny and terribly touching.
Scotland on Sunday

Guest mezzo soprano Alison Barton was a treasure with a warm, friendly
personality coming across as well as a beautiful voice. Her Russian aria
showed a talent for getting the language to sound right on top of being
able to sing and her Saint-Saens was stunning.
North West Evening Mail

I especially liked Alison Barton because the inclusion of singing
in a business event made it so different from what I expected;
I never expected to feel so EMOTIONAL at an event like this,
a couple of her songs were deeply meaningful to me.

Alison Barton was fantastic - excellent choice of "entertainment" and living
example of living her dream. Refreshing to see the humanity and creativity
of a "businesswoman" who is clearly an artist and entrepreneur.
Business doesn’t have to be staid, regimented and stereotyped.
