Tristan and Isolde<\/em> in San Francisco<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2026Brang\u00e4ne was sung by German mezzo soprano Annika Schlicht. Of similar bright voice to Isolde she was as much Isolde\u2019s alter-ego as she was Isolde\u2019s maid. The opera\u2019s opening scene was the sparring of two sh\u00f6ne madchen in this production\u2019s demystification of the Tristan legend, not a scene of an interior, personal, philosophic, heroic battle\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Brittany, bitch<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2026San Francisco Opera continued their recent string of hiring incredible artists that were making their US and house debuts with German mezzo-soprano Annika Schlicht. (This is her US staged debut as she appeared as the soloist for Gustav Mahler\u2019s Das Lied von der Erde at Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival last August.) An ensemble member of Deutsche Oper Berlin who has sung various Wagner roles there, her Brang\u00e4ne moved with poise and determination, making the role something closer to Isolde\u2019s sister than her maid. Schlicht\u2019s gorgeous voice, with a velvety middle register and assured top, further established that authoritative perception, particularly when Brang\u00e4ne warned Isolde about Melot (\u201cDer deiner hart\u201d). In this staging, Brang\u00e4ne was placed far back for the repeated warnings \u201cHabet acht!\u201d that interrupted the love duet in Act II, but Schlicht\u2019s ringing voice impressively could be heard across the hall!\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SF Opera Taps Into the Transcendent Power of Tristan and Isolde<\/em><\/h5>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2026Mezzo-soprano Annika Schlicht, in her U.S. opera debut, is an ideal Brang\u00e4ne, Isolde\u2019s companion who substitutes the potion for the poison. Schlicht\u2019s sterling breath control lets her marvelously float her character\u2019s distant warnings during the love duet\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n

Magnificent orchestral work under Eun Sun Kim elevates SFO\u2019s Tristan und Isolde<\/h5>\n\n\n<\/p>\n

\n\n\n

\u2026Among the vocal standouts in the rest of the cast, Annika Schlicht as Brang\u00e4ne (Isolde\u2019s servant and companion) fielded a resonant and fluid mezzo-soprano, her steadiness playing against Kempe\u2019s impetuousness. Making her U.S. opera debut, she floated mellifluous warnings beside the Act II tryst\u2026.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<\/p>\n
