LA TRAVIATA-Violetta
“In
Astrid Marie Lazar’s creation of the role, she [La dame aux
camélias] found a deeply suffering and believable portrayal,
one which was able to win the audience’s sincere sympathy.
… Astrid Lazar as Violetta, of great vocal and dramatic
ability, sung her way into people’s hearts with her slender
and yet powerful voice of effortless agility, as a life thirsting noble
mistress and a suffering ill woman. The technical difficulties of the
great arias and duets did not seem to exist for her, the easily carried
out coloratura passages were managed with brilliant mastery, the
powerful melodiousness of her blooming voice was able to suddenly
[subito] change into sweet overtones, and her pianissimo
sophistications in the highest ranges crowned this exceptional vocal
performance”.
FRÄNKISCHER TAG; Bamberg, Heinrich Amselgruber
“When young voices mature - The bravos and ovations for the
artists were well deserved. … Astrid Marie Lazar sings
Violetta with an enchanting, almost naturalistic colourful voice, and
an admirable flexibility of the voice. … And one cannot deny
that both protagonists have not only dramatically a lot more to offer
than the premiere cast”.
NORDBAYRISCHER KURIER; Bayreuth, Alexander Dick
“Long lasting applause and bravos for Astrid Marie Lazar and
Christoph Strehl. … In her first
‘Traviata’ Astrid Lazar seems to be the
personification of Violetta’s soul and body. …
especially with her sensitive piano singing, as well as her
magnificently sung aria in which one could almost grasp her pain, and
the final scene of death, she creates Violetta’s
transformation impressively”.
