"A genuine natural comic in Emyr Wyn Jones... Cheeky and loveable but, vitally, he can also charm us with his singing"

Theatre Wales (Papageno, The Magic Flute)
"Emyr Wyn Jones in the title role is exceptional with a voice rich in projection and tone with a youthful playfulness and dramatic ability that had us laughing with and at him, just as Verdi wanted"

Arts Scene in Wales (Falstaff)
"The young bass baritone endeared himself to his listeners with his disarming words, and no less so with his heartfelt and musically-intelligent singing… not only a beautiful vocal line but also impeccable diction and great feeling for the words of the songs. In my experience, if a singer sees the scene in his or her mind it communicates to the listeners, and this singer is a good communicator"

Cath Barton, Wales Arts Review (Recital Performance).
