„The biggest surprise of the evening is Diana Damrau, who stepped into the role of the Countess with only a few days’ notice. Her voice has changed enormously in recent years and now has a warmth and clarity that suits the role perfectly, but she is also able to convey the emotional complexity of the Countess convincingly.“
„Damrau soon revealed herself as a highly touching actress and a commanding singer. A musical highlight and a testament to the sensitive, harmonious relationship between stage and pit, “E Susanna non vien” was phrased with startling spontaneity, and “Dove sono” proved spellbinding in its bittersweet clarity.“
