DESCRIPTION:
This highly acclaimed production from the Bayerische Staatsoper was a veritable sensation and the performance of up-and-coming Latvian soprano, Kristne Opolais was rightly hailed by the press as one of the most vivid and striking accomplishments seen on an opera stage in a long time (Viennas leading daily Der Standard). With her supple and velvety soprano voice, her captivating physical beauty and her hauntingly moving stage presence, Kristine Opolais perfectly embodies the role of water nymph who becomes a human being in order to find love.
