A versatile lyric soprano: equally at home on stage and on the concert platform,
​Helen shows flair for interpreting a wide range of music, from baroque to contemporary.
Helen is recognised for her 'alluring', 'velvety rich' vocal tone, ​her 'expressive singing' and 'arresting ​stage presence', and the 'intensity' and 'conviction' of her characterisation:​ ​>
'..awesomely dramatic.. real vulnerability as well as astonishing power.' >                        
​'An intuitive and expressive artist.'  'Compelling on stage.' 'An excellent singing actor of rare ability.'

Tatyana, RAO Onegin.  Alice Ford, RAO Sir John in Love..
​'Helen has such radiance as a performer... Vocally courageous, ambitious and capable'.
Susan Waters: English Song Prize, RAM, ​
​'Helen May's Despina was outstanding... A name to watch'. 
Cosi fan tutte, Surrey Gazette, Woodhouse Opera Festival.
