Lauretta - Gianni Schicchi
"Apart from Terfel, Pasquale Orchard stands out as his beautiful daughter and performs the show's biggest aria
O mio babbino caro perfectly, bringing the house down." ​​
The South London Press, 2024
The Daily Telegraph, 2024
"Terfel, who arrived as Aleko on a bicycle, is now a bumptious wide-boy motorcyclist in vulgar red, ready to split the Donati relatives' greed, especially when his heart is melted by Pasquale Orchard as his daughter Lauretta in O mio babbino caro."
​
​
Culture Whisper, 2024
"In Gianni Schicchi he pairs up with another fantastic soprano, the New Zealand-born Pasquale Orchard...none come finer than Orchard's wheedling O mio babbino caro. Terfel, as her on-stage father, joins the audience's applause, quietly patting her hand in congratulation"
​
​
The Times, 2024
"Pasquale Orchard duly tears heartstrings as Lauretta."

Despina - Cosi Fan Tutte
"Her part was played to comical perfection by understudy Orchard. Amazing"
North West End, 2024
"A special mention must be made to Pasquale Orchard who played Despina... who took the part due to illness of the original cast member. She was brilliant and her diction, singing and action were first class."
Fairy Powered Productions, 2024

Constance
Dialogues des Carmélites
“Standing out …was soprano Pasquale Orchard. Such a good actress Orchard’s performance was a joy, singing with a focused and clear tone, exhibiting her talent for communicating dramatic expression.”
Seen and Heard International, 2019
“…Pasquale Orchard’s enchanting Soeur Constance had the most substantial voice and more radiant tone.”
Opera Magazine, 2019
Vixen
The Cunning Little Vixen
“The singing was superbly managed by the Vixen of Pasquale Orchard...wonderfully confident and vocally assured.”
The Dominion Post, 2017
“Pasquale Orchard as the Vixen was the centrepiece of all that took place on the stage…quick to engage with as to respond to the other characters. Her gestures and movements perfectly mirrored her dramatic intent, which was all to the good, because though I thought her vocal production strong and filled with variety.”
Middle C, 2017
