Reviews:
Rosina (“The Barber from Seville”)
And who wouldn't fall in love with Russian Liudmila Lokaichuk? Her smile makes every coloratura seem like a casually chirped night serenade. Opera buffa in the best sense of the word. (The Daily Mirror)
Floretta (“Knight Bluebeard”)
The most Parisian voice of the evening comes from Russia and is called Liudmilla Lokaichuk. The soprano has twice won well-deserved high prizes at the Chamber Opera's international singing competition in Rheinsberg. Congratulations to the Cottbusser Haus for signing this artist to a permanent contract! (www.kulturradio.de)
