"Elizabeth Hagedorn was entirely convincing with her Chrysothemis, desperately hoping for a chance at life."
“Elizabeth Hagedorn plays the child living in the real world with a forceful mixture of repressed desire and naive longing ... As the only survivor of the final bloodbath, she tries to hand over the bloody axe to the audience with an expression of total helplessness – a shocking moment, which one seldom experiences in theater.”
“A Chrysothemis consumed by her longing for happiness and love was portrayed by Elizabeth Hagedorn with a full soprano sound.”
“Elizabeth Hagedorn plays Chrysothemis as an incomprehensibly violence-abstinent opponent, presenting herself with a powerful, expressive soprano voice, developing a very individual interpretation, beyond all convention.”
“Her sister Chrysothemis (Elizabeth Hagedorn), the conciliatory sister, wants a woman's destiny, far removed from blind masculine murder instinct. But she helps forge the murder conspiracy in front of the closed curtain, with the hall fully lit – one of the most powerful scenes of the premiere. Elizabeth Hagedorn's dramatic soprano reacted to the demands of the role with the greatest flexibility.”
