Ambur Braid debuts as Senta
8/3/2024
Ambur Braid makes her role and company debut as Senta in Barrie Kosky’s production of Der fliegende Holländer for Komische Oper Berlin. The performances, conducted by James Gaffigan, open on 15 March at the Schillertheater. A longstanding collaboration with Barrie Kosky also brought Ambur’s role debut as Salome in his production for Oper Frankfurt which has been reprised numerous times, most recently this season with critics commenting “Ambur Braid has probably found the role of her life in Salome. She can colour her bright voice in an almost childishly naïve way; but she also has astonishing reserves of strength which allow her to literally flood the auditorium in sound, as in her final ecstatic monologue” – Das Opernfreund, January 2024
