Staatstheater Nürnberg - Tannhäuser | Elisabeth

BR Klassik 10/ 2009

Mardi Byers shines in her Elisabeth debut with versatile acting and wonderfully chaste piani. Especially moving is her second Act plea for Tannhäuser’s life.

Byer’s silvery, sometimes fragile, then magically shining soprano voice fits Elisabeth perfectly.

Brilliant in all of her vocal nuances is the Elisabeth from Mardi Byers.

Mardi Byer’s expression of the many soulful colors, the inner bleakness, the suffering and hope of a confident Elizabeth is praiseworthy. She never had to force, mastered her part with no hint of strain, and lent the role, especially with convincing lyricism, an aura of the beloved Virgin.
