Opernmagazin wrote about the role debut of the Austrian mezzo-soprano Sophie Rennert on March 20: “And how Sophie Rennert’s Donna Elvira loves! With fiery coloraturas, penetrating high notes and resonant low notes, she displays a vocal certainty that is sometimes sought in vain in larger opera houses. She is already a phenomenon in terms of acting. She is so present, so passionate, and then again so vulnerable and desperate.” However, the baroque repertoire remains a great passion for her, and she is delighted to perform three concerts in Barcelona, Madrid and Bilbao as Emperor Anastasio in Antonio Vivaldi’s Il Giustino with the Accademia Bizantina under Ottavio Dantone.
