REVIEWS
 
De Jyske Opera – Werther - CHARLOTTE
...also stages WERTHER with Charlotte‘s feelings, which was even emphasized at the Copenhagen world premiere by the outstanding performance of the mezzo soprano Marie Seidler, as she took the audience of the Gamle scene by assault.
SCENEBLOG

Tonhalle Düsseldorf – Genoveva - MARGARETHA
...and, the secret star of the evening, Marie Seidler as an outstanding Margaretha, both vocally and in her mesmerizing acting performance.
Schumann Portal
schumann-portal.de
Semperoper Dresden – Genoveva - MARGARETHA
Vocally, the sublime trio was furiously and maliciously dark completed by Marie Seidler’s dodgy wet nurse Margaretha. The young mezzo soprano enthralled with a rich vocal range of two and a half octaves with powerful depths and a crystal-clear timbre.

...and an excellent soloist ensemble with Carolyn Sampson and Marie Seidler... Marie Seidler as the scheming wet nurse has the most interesting part, of which she makes thoroughly use with her flaming mezzo soprano voice,…

Pfalztheater Kaiserslautern – Titus - SEXTUS
Especially worth mentioning here are above all Marie Seidler as Sextus and D.K. as Titus. The first-mentioned portrayed the trousers role with a clear, powerful and smooth mezzo soprano voice; I would definitively like to hear more from her.
