CONCERT
A Dual Talent in Every Way!
„The equally talented the soprano Lazar. absolutely secure in
dangerously high notes,
yet with a strong volume and an acting talent that’s rarely
found.
Already her long red gown with a big décolleté
and her mane of blond hair caught ones attention.
The soprano bewitches the men, even leaves the stage to tease the men
in the audience with her scarf,
snuggles up to a gentlemen in the second row, sits down on his lap for
a moment and then –
unbelievable if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes –
she begins the aria “Habanera”,
from George Bizet’s Opera Carmen, laying down on the stage: a
dual talent in every way! …
Being able to sing is one thing, but to support the sung words with
just the right gestures and mimic
is another thing. Lazar is excellent at doing both. … In the
aria „Summertime“, one of the encores,
the soprano shows her “black soul”, the Blues in
her voice – excellent.
Bravos and long lasting applause for the artists.”
AUGSBURGER ALLGEMEINE: Landsberg am Lech, Alois Kramer
Soprano enthuses with Munich charme
„Especially the opera singer from Munich, Astrid Marie Lazar,
who with her clear and
strong soprano voice masters all registers and passages with bravura,
enthused the audience.“
SCHWÄBISCHE ZEITUNG
Vocal Magic from the South
Also the soprano Astrid Lazar brilliantly portrayed roles from a
variety of opera compositions.
With utmost fervour and pathos she revealed herself as killing Tosca
and through her expressive voice
immerged the audience into the troubled world of bohemian artists life
in Paris.
The successful evening filled with Italian seductions finally peaks in
powerful vocal duets,
in which Sanchez and Lazar magically fascinate their audience, with
powerful duets
such as „Libiamo” form Verdi’s La
Traviata.”
AUGSBURGER ALLEGEMEINE, Thomas Hack
Soprano und Tenor engage in dramatic vocal duets!
Also soprano Astrid Lazar slips into various roles of the Italian opera
world and
brilliantly portrays a passionate Violetta from „La
Traviata“ or the sickly Mimi from Puccini’s
„La Bohéme“.

MIGNON -
Philine
“The vocal counterpart of the innocent Mignon was portrayed
by Astrid Marie Lazar in the role of the flirtatious Philine. Her aria

with increasing sovereignty”.
