Some reviews about Katrin Wundsam’s enthusiastically received Fricka (Das Rheingold & Die Walküre) and Erste Norn & Waltraute (Götterdämmerung) at the Staatstheater Wiesbaden and the May Festival 2024:

“Katrin Wundsam was a very energetic Fricka who was not intimidated by Wotan. Her penetrating voice and determined stage presence gave the role the necessary authority. Wundsam presented Fricka’s arguments with precision and emotional intensity, which made her scenes with Wotan the dramatic highlights of the evening. Of the ladies, she received the strongest ovations.”
Dirk Schauß, Der Neue Merker

“Katrin Wundsam sang Waltraute and 1st Norn, as well as Fricka, confidently and amazed with her versatility. She seemed completely different in her portrayals of these roles, both vocally and in her acting. This is a great art!”
Dr. Bianca Maria Gerlich, Klassik Begeistert

“Katrin Wundsam as Fricka, Wotan’s wife, goddess and guardian of marriage and morality (Rheingold, Walküre), is a self-confident, unyielding character, a lady of the world. Densely structured vocal lines and well-dosed nobility allow her personality and competence to shine through dramatically. Her focused voice sounds wonderfully sensual. Her Waltraute (Götterdämmerung) is a Valkyrie with her own identity. The central passages of her Waltraute scene are suggestively touching.”
Ingrid Freiberg, IOCO

“Katrin Wundsam impresses with her light yet powerful mezzo-soprano role as Fricka as well as the first Norn and Waltraute.”
Adele Bernhard, Das Opernmagazin
