“Rhydian Jenkins, who is being coached by singer Nicky Spence and Adrian Thompson, really showed his star qualities in Monteverdi’s Il ritorno d’Ulisse in patria”
Arts Muse London, 2024 | National Opera Studio: Myths & Legends
“As Telemaco, Ulysses’s son who is reunited with his father Achilles, Rhydian’s tenor reproduced a delicious array of emotions and textures. Definitely a singer to watch out for in 2024”

“Rhydian Jenkins sang Llanrwst by Welsh composer Gareth Glyn. A slow, rather romantic piece where Jenkins and Swindells created a nice sense of atmosphere. Jenkins showed a fine lyric tenor voice in a big-boned performance that moved to a vibrant climax but ended with finely controlled, ravishing head-voice.”
Planet Hugill, 2024 | National Opera Studio: Simple Gifts (Wigmore Hall Recital)
“Then Jenkins in Im Abendrot, with Jenkins singing with lovely line and tone, matched by his care for the words".”

Arts Scene in Wales and Opera Scene | The Fairy Queen (Longborough Festival Opera 2023)
“So, one can enjoy the ludicrous earnestness of the Mechanicals’ rehearsals and dramatics…Rhydian Jenkins’ intense Snout/Wall”
Opera Today | The Fairy Queen (Longborough Festival Opera 2023)
“Performances by Rhydian Jenkins and Dafydd Allen as the two friends Sergei and Boris, the primary initiators of the pushback against the bureaucratic abuse (and the protagonists of their respective romantic sub-plots) must be mentioned as stand-outs”
Arts Scene in Wales, 2022 | Cherry Town, Moscow (Welsh National Opera)

Plays To See, 2022 | Cherry Town, Moscow (Welsh National Opera)
