FESTIVAL

 

My third Herodias this spring took place when I jumped in at Bergen International Festival.

DEBUT AS KABANICHA AT KOMISCHE OPER IN BERLIN
 

Some job offers you cant turn down. I was on my way from IKEA when my agent called and asked if I could jump in as Kabanicha that evening.

A HERODIAS FULL OF HATE AND ANXIETY 

You cant sing or act any better than this; the way Michael Weinius as Herodes and Karin Lovelius as Herodias fills every gesture, every note, every look and every step with hate, cynicism, greed and anxiety and contempt for mankind in a preoccupied self. It is music theatre at the peak of what is possible because their art of expression gives the music and the theatre equal weight
