This page contains reviews of some of Guy's performances!

"...A soaring performance from John Fletcher as Zurga and company debutant Guy Edwards as Nadir tugged at the heartstrings and left the audience - and many of the cast, as they admitted afterwards - in tears.

From the Rose Bowl Awards Adjudication on "The Pearl Fishers":

From the NODA adjudication on "The Pearl Fishers":
"The popular and beloved duet between Zurga and Nadir was beautifully sung with good balance between the timbres and volume of the voices. It was much appreciated by the audience...
