Opera | Stéphanie Müther Soprano

"Die Premiere ist aber auch der Abend der großen Rollendebüts mit beeindruckenden Stimmen. Allen voran Stéphanie Müther als Brünnhilde (...) Müther hat die strahlenden Höhen, die eine Brünnhilde braucht, und sie beherrscht die dramatischen Ausbrüche wie bei der Schwurszene, kann aber aufgrund ihrer warmen und etwas tiefen Mittellage auch in den
Duetten mit Siegfried sehr viel Weiblichkeit in die Stimme legen. In der Schlussszene gibt sie eine sängerisch grandios strahlende Brünnhilde ab, die es mit dieser Vorstellung auf Anhieb in den Olymp der großen Wagnerstimmen schafft."
