Theater Freiberg – Cendrillon - CENDRILLON
The title role was sung by Dimirtra Kalaitzi-Titilkudou. The mezzo soprano sings her part with a natural and quite appealing voice.
Der neue Merker 2/2020 – Christoph Suhre
Staatsoperette Dresden – Hier und jetzt und himmelblau
With her „sex appeal” or as the harassed administrator secretary Dimitra Kalaitzi soon became the star of the show.

…for me the scenic and vocal highlight- …Dimitra Kalaitzi in the roles of the beloved receptionist, public toilet attendant and – „C’est ça la vie, c’est ça l’amour“ – as Viviane from »Toi, c’est moi« (Moisés Simons).
