Musikfestival Gut Immling – La verità in cimento - ROSANE
With Jennifer Zein (Rosane) another public’s darling of last season– in 2019 she portrayed Adele in „ Die Fledermaus“ and immediately conquered everbody’s heart.

Musikfestival Gut Immling – Die Fledermaus - ADELE
All performers, especially the flexible chambermaid Adele (Jennifer Zein) and her sister Ida (Caren Maxerath) not only convinced with their delicately modulated soprano voices but also with their acting skills.

As is often the case, here too the cheeky Adele spontaneously conquers all hearts . Jennifer Zein as lively chambermaid swirls through the scene and not only her arias there are full of silvery tones and esprit.
Gabriele Luster
New Years Concert with the Stuttgarter Philharmonikern
Jennifer Zein’s soprano voice charmingly fitted in. The German-born artist, who was raised in the United States, stood out with esprit and was astonishingly confident in the high tones – e.g. in the Bell Song from Léo Delibes’ opera "Lakmé", in which the priest’s daughter bemoans her unhappy love affair. “And so does so with truly fast ups and downs” Blunier, who moderated the evening, said. “In this piece our soloist can easily compete with the carillon.
