Shirley Apthorp (Financial Times, London) on July 5 2004 18:45 gave
Lisa Gasteen an enthusiastic review:
“Lisa Gasteen's Isolde was of international stature. That she
has the volume, stamina and range for the part we have known for years.
”What was new was the way that under Perceval she's grown into
her own body, with a new physical confidence and fluidity that spilt
into the way she sang.”
Our roving Raven, Camron Dyer, also saw the production recently and
sent this short review that endorses Ms Apthorp's enthusiasm:
“In last night's performance (22 July 2003) of T&I
in Stuttgart. Lisa was magnificent. She gave us the best ever vocally
dramatic performance of the role we have ever seen. Even better than
her rendition of the role at Covent Garden a couple of years ago.
. It was our most exciting performance so far of this trip. The Tristan
of Gabriele Sadé was a baritone version. Very sturdy full on
performance.”
Lothar Zagrosek (after the Stuttgart Ring Cycle that was recently
televised by SBS) conducted the Stuttgart State Opera orchestra and
Luk Perceval directed, with Gabriel Sadé as Tristan, Wolfgang
Schöne as Kurwenal. Annette Kurz did the sets, Philip Bussmann
did the video and Mark Van Denesse did the lighting.
