Mezzo-soprano Sofia Vinnik has just been celebrated for her portrayal of the scheming Phébé in Rameau’s Castor and Pollux. To quote just one of the many enthusiastic reviews, Austria Presse Agentur wrote: “With her dark mezzo-soprano, Sofia Vinnik lent Phébé an uncanny presence.” She now takes on her next major role debut at Graz Opera as Octavian in Der Rosenkavalier, stepping into the part of the young man who must choose between his love for the mature Marschallin and his love for the young Sophie. Corina Koller sings Marianne Leitmetzerin in this production.
