Violeta Urmana in Wagner anniversary year
Debut as Brünnhilde
By Ruth Wischmann
LONDON, BERLIN, PARIS: Violeta Urmana gave a foretaste of a new role she will be playing more often in coming years when she gave a stunning performance of an excerpt from Wagner’s Götterdämmerung at the beginning of January in Paris. Her reading of Brünnhilde’s final song under Marek Janowski was hailed by press and audience alike. She will make her debut as Brünnhilde in Wagner’s Siegfried under the same conductor on March 1 in a concertante performance in the Berlin Philharmonie with the Radio Symphony Orchestra of Berlin.
In 2013, Wagner will be at the centre of Violeta Urmana‘s artistic activities
