FRICKA

“SLL’s Fricka makes a powerful impression” RESMUSICA 

“With SLL as his wife Fricka and Lucie Peyramaure as his sister Freia, these roles are superbly cast” THE OPERA MAGAZINE 

“SLL plays a young, elegant Fricka in a haute couture costume and is absolutely terrifying in her long monologue ‘So it’s out’ and furious in her aria ‘Lass von dem Wälsung’, which provokes the cowardly and characterless Wotan into the renunciation she desires. In this scene, thanks to Benedict von Peter’s very precise direction and her full and convincing commitment, SLL finds her role highly strategic.” RESONANCES LYRIQUES

BERENICE

"As a quintessential Baroque opera heroine, mezzo-soprano SLL, expressive and masterful, touched the hearts of the audience with Haydn's concert aria" OPERA MAGAZINE

"The magnificent mezzo-soprano SLL this evening – colorful and direct, she envelops Berenice's anger and suffering."

LUCRETIA

« The crown of the evening goes to SLL, who sings a moving, intense Lucretia and gives the evening format with her great stage presence » Online Merker

CHERUBINO
"Cherubino, who gets involved with a not entirely definable number of ladies-in-waiting, sometimes looks like a sex-obsessed person. SLL is extremely convincing in this role, which gives her the clear approval of the Lucerne audience, which is marked by applause" Zentralplus

SOLO, JEREMIAH SYMPHONY 
"The strong SLL", The new listener

HÄNSEL 
"The cocky one, warmly and sensitively designed by SLL." Wiesbadener Kurier "In the trouser role of Hänsel, SLL convinces with a vowel highly cultivated mezzo-soprano that does not forcefully react even to some orchestral pressure waves." FAZ "At Gretel's side, SLL hops nimble and Fidel, without sentimental cuteness and with a mobile, carrying mezzo, a small, researcher, overwhelmed boy." Frankfurter Rundschau

DONNA ELVIRA 
"Portrays an expressive, brilliant Donna Elvira of great intensity" Zentralplus
"SLL’s character is captivating" NZZ
"In all her inner turmoil and sexual dependency, SLL’s Donna Elvira is a major event!" NMZ
"The central female character here is SLL’s betrayed Donna Elvira, who adds the kind of hysteria that oscillates between hate and desire to her expressive mezzosoprano" Tagblatt
"Donna Elvira became a Queen of the Night in SLL’s portrayal. With her temperament, her mesmerising soprano voice and her inner struggle between anger, longing and desire for vengeance, she was a raging abandoned lover; her voice swung effortlessly from heartfelt whispers of love to a furious thirst for revenge." Liechtensteiner Vaterland
