Monteverdiho Korunovace Poppey v Plzni potvrdila, že baroko rezonuje s dnešní dobou
“Poppea was sung by soprano Lucie Kaňková at the premiere. She attracts attention with a sonorous, resonantly concentrated expression in all vocal positions. The strength of her interpretation lies in the consistent phrasing and thoughtful division of musical phrases, certainly as a result of her collaboration with the conductor during rehearsals.” “… Magically, in subtle shades of dynamics, the conductor let the final due, the only one in Monteverdi’s work, resound and impressively resonate. Both soloists engaged in this dialogue dynamically and excellently. With the stage effect of a quasi open fire, this dialogue was indeed a wonderful. Very effective “highlight” of a successful production. Bravo!..”
