Oper Graz – Polnische Hochzeit - JADJA
Katharina Melnikova from the Graz Opera Studio played the first performances. She entirely convinced with her brilliant soprano voice and her assured acting work. Any opera house should be happy to have such a wonderful alternative cast.
Der Neue Merker 02/19 – Walter Nowotny
Played by Katarina Melnikova with a light soprano voice.

The soprano Katharina Melnikova is a likeable young bride, who lacks experience but who has potential.

Schlossfespiele Werningrode – Rigoletto – GILDA
…while Katharina Melnikova with her sparkling coloraturas vanishes with her head held high into another world.
Joachim Lang Orpheus 05/2018 – Sept./Okt
Theater Freiburg – Cendrillon - FAIRY
Gentle, dandling sounds everywhere and a few will-o‘-the wisps, as the fairy, who straightens everything, starts her sweet twittering. Katharina Melnikova does so with a masterly perfection.

Sommerarena Baden – Die Fledermaus – ADELE
Chilly coquettish and with strong Heights, Katharina Melnikova sings Adele.
Kronenzeitung – Stefan Musil
Vocally everyone was convining. Above all the parlour maid Adele (Katharina Melnikova) surprises with amazing heights, which make us almost fear the glass roof will burst. …

Katharina Melnikova as Adele sang very impactfull. Her peaks were extremely secure and precise. Tthe mischievous side of the role also got its due.
