7/11/2024
Brenda Rae has made her much-anticipated return to the stage of Oper Frankfurt singing the title role of Berg’s Lulu in Nadja Loschky’s new production and under the baton of General Music Director Thomas Guggeis, receiving great acclaim from critics:
“Brenda Rae embodies this inexplicable complexity of the title character with nuanced acting and, above all, musicality. She can extract from her bright and confident coloratura soprano the embers of passion as well as cutting coldness.” — Der OpernFreund ( Frankfurt: “Lulu”, Alban Berg – Der Opernfreund)
“Brenda Rae… masters the title role with vocal power and brilliance, even in the murderous coloraturas.” — Klassik.com
A “… maximally agile, light, silvery soprano…” “Lulu” at the Frankfurt Opera – Lulu doesn’t want to die
“Brenda Rae offers complete playful and vocal commitment for Lulu. Rae’s coloratura easily conquers the stratosphere” — Review: Alban Berg: Lulu | Frankfurt am Main | The German Stage
