Mezzo soprano Hege Høisæter sings The Countess in Tchaikovsky’s ”Pique dame” at Norwegian National Opera. Dagsavisen writes:
”A clear answer to why we should see and hear this [The Queen of Spades], comes after the first intermission when Hege Høisæter gets a musical space as the Countess. She both plays and sings the old witch brilliantly, supported by a costume where the rigidity gives dramatic meaning. She takes the command musically, gets the conductor and the orchestra down in pace into a musical weight and nerve. ”
Aftenposten: ”Hege Høisæter is magnetic as the nostalgic and bitter, ageing Countess. ”
Remaining performances of ”The Queen of Spades” at The Norwegian National Opera is 15, 18, 21, 23, 25 September. Don’t miss it!
