"Lucy Schaufer is luxury casting as Judy/Fortune."
(The Sunday Times)

"(Edward) Gardner brought out a hitherto unsuspected anguish and melancholy in the piece. Nowhere was that more evident than in the heartbreaking lament sung towards the end by Lucy Schaufer's outstanding Mrs Punch."
(The Times)

"…one recalls Judy's poignant reflections in Lucy Schaufer's portrayal…”
(The Opera Critic)

"The insouciance of the little motif with which Punch shrugs off each murder strikes a vivid contrast with the murdered Judy's plea for Punch's reform, sung by the versatile American mezzo Lucy Schaufer."
(Opera Today)
