Aldeburgh Festival (March 2014)
Gaynor Keeble’s Auntie is excellent.
Michael Scott Rohan, BBC Music Magazine
Gaynor Keeble’s Auntie and the ‘nieces’ of Alexandra Hutton and Charmian Bedford are all in excellent voice, the women’s quartet ‘From the gutter’ being a vocal highlight.
Mark Pullinger, International Record Review

Florence Pike, Albert Herring, BBC Symphony Orchestra
Barbican Centre (November 2013)
Gaynor Keeble’s vociferous Florence Pike [was] notable in a one-off cast all of whom were distinctive.
Paul Driver The Sunday Times
The cast list of this performance was amazing… Gaynor Keeble as Florence, Lady Billows’s doormat, earnest and possibly envious of the shocking behaviour of the town’s young womenfolk.
Michael Tanner, The Spectator
Backing her up with rich vocals was Gaynor Keeble as between-two-worlds housekeeper Florence Pike, excelling in her Act Two harangue.
David Nice, theartsdesk.com
Miss Keeble is a very fine character actress with a firm, consistent tone throughout her range.
Miranda Jackson, Opera Britannia
Gaynor Keeble sang with great character, firmness and voice. She elicited great sympathy for having to work for a character like Lady Billows.

Auntie, Peter Grimes, Grimes on the Beach
Aldeburgh Festival (June 2013)

Hugh Canning, The Sunday Times
The other characters make a marvellous gallery, including Gaynor Keeble’s Auntie.
Andrew Clements, The Guardian
Gaynor Keeble’s rich-voiced Auntie.
Clare Colvin, The Express
The nieces were overseen by a sassy Auntie, sung forcefully with rich tone and feisty spirit by Gaynor Keeble.
Opera Today
Mrs Sedly and Gaynor Keeble as Auntie, the landlady whose female staff offer more than mere alcoholic beverages to the inhabitants of the Borough…both characterized their roles vividly and perceptively: these were real people we were listening to onstage, and however many times one might have seen Peter Grimes in the opera house, these performances had authenticities all of their own.
Mike Reynolds, MusicalCriticism.com
Ellen Orford’s quartet with Auntie (Gaynor Keeble)…is one of the highlights, a testament to the singers of course.
Kimon Daltas, The Arts Desk
Gaynor Keeble was a strong, no-nonsense landlady.
Gareth Jones, The Ipswich Star
