Steven Isserlis and Friends-Recital (Wigmore Hall) – November 2020
‘A show-stealing turn from countertenor Francis Gush – resplendent in both gown and bushy-beard, and certainly a shoo-in for the next Eurovision- hinted a the camp and Demi-mode that’s never all that far away in Proust’s Paris‘ – The Arts Desk (Boyd Tonkin)
Partenope- Handel (Hampstead Garden Opera) – May 2019
‘However, in the cast I saw, there are also two blowaway performances from Francis Gush as Arsace and Anne-Sofie Soby Jensen as Eurimene/Rosmira. Gush’s countertenor voice is bell clear and beautiful, his every word beautifully sung…‘ – The Stage (Tim Bano)
‘Francis Gush made a highly personable Arsace, singing with a lovely soft-grained voice and bringing a nice concentration to Arsace’s more serious arias. Gush made Arsace approachable yet entirely untrustworthy as he seemed incapable of understanding it was not OK to string two women along simultaneously.’ – Planet Hugill (Robert Hugill)
‘Her suitors all delivered, and Francis Gush admirably demonstrated the frailty, cowardice and inconsistencies of the lovestruck Arsace‘- HamandHigh (David Winskill)
The Duchess of Malfi – John Webber (The Royal Shakespeare Company) – 2018
‘Countertenor Francis Gush lends uncanny beauty to scenes of savagery‘ – Leamington Courier (Peter Ormerod)
‘Hauntingly sung alto‘ – The Times (Helen Maybanks)
