Saarländisches Staatstheater Saarbrücken - Die Tote Stadt – MARIETTA |
With Pauliina Linnosaari in the double role of the dancer „Marietta“ and the Marian Apparition the Saarbrücken State Theatre has succeeded in landing a major casting coup. One has seldom seen and heard this role being sung so spiritedly and played so sovereignly . The mere effortlessness with which she sings the well-known song „Glück, das mir verblieb“ , integrating each and every high peak in the singing line without any sharpness, deserves great admiration. The young soprano has just the right juicy tone which is needed to play the seductress. At the same time, her voice is so stunningly flexible, that the sirenlike calls of the in her dream appearing Marie have something fascinatingly otherworldly narcotic. |
