"Elizabeth Hagedorn is an attractive Marie, clearly showing her character's longing for life, but who has all the vocal resources to express desperation. She is equipped with the unusually wide range (e-c# ''' !) required for Marie...."
" 'Nocturne with a powerful woman' -
...a soprano with lyrical power and dramatic
furor, at maximum voltage from the very first scene... pure emotion ..."
"... with a powerful, expressive soprano voice, she developed a very individual interpretation, beyond all convention ..."
" 'Intoxicating' -
... the form of her singing, her flexible line and the free, shiningly rounded high voice,
the sorrowful expressiveness ... the unstrained power ..."
"... supple vocalism ... with fine, melting lyricism,
and a brilliant, free upper range, and later through pain-filled,
despairing expression..."
"A truly ideal casting, to which one can only congratulate the house."
"...a singer-actress whose stage presence and youthfulness remind one of the young Anja Silja. Her voice however is more beautiful ..."
"...a dramatic intensity emcompassing blazing emotional outbursts..." "
" ... a grandiose
Ariadne ... nerve-rending intensity ..."
"Elizabeth Hagedorn knows how to vocally transport the clear sensitivity of Ellen Orford just as convincingly as the brittleness which arises out of her involvement in the fate of the Grimes' last apprentice."
