"Elizabeth Hagedorn developed Marie out of the conflicts between sensuality, motherhood, and the hope for a better life. She is the only one who is allowed an expressively warm tone."
"Elizabeth Hagedorn sang and played Marie almost reservedly, leaving the triteness of pure sexual motivation behind, impressing as an uncertain and damaged woman."
"Also Elizabeth Hagedorn as Marie goes to the limits - in the positive sense - both vocally and in her acting. Her powerful soprano voice soared over the reduced, but not less powerful, orchestra, and switched from extreme heights to low, naturalistic Sprechgesang without any problems."
"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."
