48hills von Charles Lewis III

At SF Opera, a ‘Tristan and Isolde’ that’s hardly a tragedy

Assembled to do the bloviating are a fine cast of performers (with Schlicht’s turn as Brangäne being especially captivating),..

Conductor Eun Sun Kim, Emerging Wagner Star, Leads Dazzling ‘Tristan’

…German mezzo-soprano Annika Schlicht was very strong as Brangäne, her voice clear and rich…

Tristan and Isolde

 …Solid performances by Annika Schlicht as Isolde’s attendant Brangäne and Wolfgang Koch as Tristan’s attendant Kurwenal should also be noted…


Opera Today von Michael Milenski

Tristan and Isolde in San Francisco

…Brangäne was sung by German mezzo soprano Annika Schlicht. Of similar bright voice to Isolde she was as much Isolde’s alter-ego as she was Isolde’s maid. The opera’s opening scene was the sparring of two shöne madchen in this production’s demystification of the Tristan legend, not a scene of an interior, personal, philosophic, heroic battle…

It’s Brittany, bitch

…San 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’s 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 Brangäne moved with poise and determination, making the role something closer to Isolde’s sister than her maid. Schlicht’s gorgeous voice, with a velvety middle register and assured top, further established that authoritative perception, particularly when Brangäne warned Isolde about Melot (“Der deiner hart”). In this staging, Brangäne was placed far back for the repeated warnings “Habet acht!” that interrupted the love duet in Act II, but Schlicht’s ringing voice impressively could be heard across the hall!…


San Francisco Classical Voice von Lisa Hirsch

SF Opera Taps Into the Transcendent Power of Tristan and Isolde

…Mezzo-soprano Annika Schlicht, in her U.S. opera debut, is an ideal Brangäne, Isolde’s companion who substitutes the potion for the poison. Schlicht’s sterling breath control lets her marvelously float her character’s distant warnings during the love duet….


Seen and Heard von Harvey Steiman

Magnificent orchestral work under Eun Sun Kim elevates SFO’s Tristan und Isolde

Among the vocal standouts in the rest of the cast, Annika Schlicht as Brangäne (Isolde’s servant and companion) fielded a resonant and fluid mezzo-soprano, her steadiness playing against Kempe’s impetuousness. Making her U.S. opera debut, she floated mellifluous warnings beside the Act II tryst….
