“With a clear, fresh soprano voice and an outstanding acting performance, Anastasiya Taratorkina impressively emphasised the complexity of the character of Oenone.”

“One is amazed at how perfectly and naturally Anastasiya Taratorkina, who is standing in, fits into this sophisticated directorial work. With her soubrette-light soprano, she plays the lively playmaker.”

“Anastasiya Taratorkina as Waldvogel impressed with her fine, clear soprano tones, which lent the role an ethereal quality. She was easy to understand and her soprano shone with a velvety colour that gave the audience a real treat.”

“Anastasiya Taratorkina inspires as Gilda. The young soprano Anastasiya Taratorkina is an event as Gilda. Her voice shines and radiates, never sounding shrill even in the highest trebles. And in the quiet episodes, every phrase, every note is touching.”

“The extremely talented, light-footed Anastasiya Taratorkina, who dances through the role with a honey-sweet timbre, as the precocious MARZELLINE, who, not yet outgrown her schoolgirl uniform, dreams of love and marriage.”

“She has such unstressed and beautiful tones in the piano, very soft!” The chairwoman of the ARD Music Competition jury, Felicity Lott, is delighted with the soprano from Dresden.

“The sun rose radiantly during her Norina aria from Don Pasquale by Donizetti. Perfect diction, softly intoned top notes at every dynamic level, humour and an economical approach to the exact point of the role made her interpretation an experience.”
