STOR FRAMGÅNG AV IRENE THÉORIN SOM BRÜNHILDE I BARCELONAS RAGNARÖK



RECENSIONER:

Amongst the performers that took part at the Götterdämmerung premiere at the Liceu the great highlight was the immense, anthological and unforgettable Brünnhilde by Iréne Theorin. Voice, power, dramatic engagement and understanding of the character put the Swedish soprano in a place to be considered one of the best Brünnhilde in the world, if not the best. Her final scene will remain in the memory of all for many years to come.
