“First and foremost to be mentioned is Kateryna Kasper in the role of Oriana. The Frankfurt-based soprano is currently at the height of her vocal powers. She caresses her lover with a wonderfully rounded, honeyed tone. Ornaments, melismas, and coloraturas are delivered with astonishing flawlessness. With Kasper, they do not appear as mere vocal showpieces, but as a natural — indeed, essential — part of her expressive artistry. This marvellous vocal performance alone would be reason enough to attend the production.”
