Hulda was César Franck’s last completed opera, and beside a very few incomplete performances it has remained undiscovered since its completion in 1885. This world-premiere recording sees Hulda fully restored using the original score housed at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris, with every scene left out of the published edition reinstated. In this way, and for the first time, the listener is able to experience this fantastic opera as Franck intended.
Award-winning American soprano Meagan Miller’s compelling stage presence, expansive colours and rich vocal texture has seen her acclaimed in celebrated roles throughout Europe and the US. A New York Times review described Miller as ‘an agreeably flexible interpreter’ with ‘considerable communicative powers’ who sang ‘with a combination of gracefulness and energy that got to the core of the music she offered’.
