In the person of Nadja Michael, a singer was available for the title role who, with her effortlessly appealing depth and great volume, not only satisfi ed all requirements for the diabolic soprano part in terms of her voice, but also left nothing to be desired in terms of her acting and dancing. The magnifi cent stage presence of Nadja Michael is shown by every emotional turn that is put to music, even if it is announced by merely a breath of wind, captured with a nearly wraithlike precision and a mastery of singing.
Neverending applause! The audience highly acclaimed Nadja Michael’s outstanding performance! Since its fi rst performance hundred years ago Salome is a well-established part of the operatic repertoire of the most important opera companies throughout the world.
“Nadja Michael, a former professional swimmer, is not only an artist in possession of a great voice with a radiant timbre and fl awless intonation (…) but also an admirable actress and excellent dancer.” CORRIERE DELLA SERA, 8 March 2007
