“… Szilvia Vörös come seconda e Margaret Plummer come terza salvietta erano molto meglio.”
“The magnificent Hungarian mezzo-soprano Szilvia Vörös made her debut in the role of Judith, the wife of the Blue Beard.
More drama was provided by the pre-reported information that Blue Beard, Mika Kares, had woken up in the morning without his voice. But there was no need for a substitute, since Kares was properly medicated and was able to sing, and did it exemplary. What we would have heard, if Kares only could have used his entire arsenal!
Szilvia Vörös, who has been waiting for the right time for singing the role of Judith, was convincing from the first phrase onwards. Her mezzo-soprano is beautiful, bright, nuanced. The lower register is deep, both pianos and fortes can easily be heard. The scale of expressing emotions promises her a brilliant career with more and more demanding roles.” Helsingin Sanomat

“Mr. Braun achingly conveyed the haunted man’s panic and defensiveness.”
-New York Times, 11 May 2015
“The baritone Russell Braun portrayed the character of Tito more convincingly, with an ardent, full-bodied tone that never drew attention to the music’s technical complexities. He seemed to have assimilated the character’s desperate rage and scarred tenderness.”
