Of this Frankfurt production Suddeutsche Zeitung wrote, ‘You can also translate the title of the opera as ‘The Bewitching’, then you know what Grigorian is doing. Her uniqueness is warm humanity, her singing-acting instinct pure miracle down to the last detail of every smallest gesture, every inconspicuous phrase’.
Asmik Grigorian is one of the three stars featured in the video documentary Fuoco Sacro, A Search for the Sacred Fire of Song on 2110710 (DVD) / NBD0141V (Blu-ray): ‘Anyone who loves singing should see this film’ (American Record Guide). It also won a German Record Critics Award. Grigorian has also been honoured with the prestigious Opus Klassik Award for Sängerin des Jahres (‘Singer of the Year’) in Berlin, October 2023. The New York Times called her ‘A soprano with a bottomless appetite for risk’.
Canadian baritone Iain MacNeil joined the Oper Frankfurt Ensemble in 2019. He was hailed as a World Star (HR-2 Kultur) for his recent interpretation of the Prince in this production, where critics said he ‘embodies the figure of the dark and faithless prince with great vocal authority’ (Kulturfreak) and ‘shines alongside Grigorian and Mahnke’ (Opera Magazine).
Claudia Mahnke is one of the leading mezzos of our time due to her Brangäne and Fricka at Bayreuth Festival, Judith in Bartók’s Bluebeard’s Castle at Staatsoper Hamburg and Didon in Les Troyens at Oper Frankfurt in recent seasons.
