Reviews

Königin der Nacht / Die Zauberflöte / Royal Academy Opera / 2025

“Spectacular Queen of the Night Binny Supin Yang electrified the audience with her superb coloratura…”
(The Guardian)

“The youngest Queen of the Night I’ve heard and one of the finest. Every note was a jewel, every giddy peak of her coloratura a glittering diamond. Fans of new talent should follow this Korean soprano’s career, for gems aplenty lie ahead.”
(Bachtrack)

“…as the Queen of the Night, Binny Supin Yang nails the expression in the text before going on to hit all her firework notes spot on, rare perfection and ready to sing the role at any opera house in the world.”
(The Arts Desk)


Gretel / Hänsel und Gretel / Royal Academy Opera / 2024

“…the pearly-voiced Binny Supin Yang.”
(Opera)


Dalinda / Ariodante / Royal Academy Opera / 2023

“Binny Supin Yang was an effective foil for Ginevra, and her eventual confession and regret were conveyed powerfully.  The soprano had the high notes, too, which she delivered confidently, with a piercing glint.“
(Opera Today)
