Press reviews deutsch "...On this occasion inspired music encounters equally inspired musical interpretation - it sparks! With her ideal figure and convincing performance of the ‘Composer’, Antigone Papoulkas captivates the audience. The young mezzo-soprano uses her bright and youthful voice to communicate with sensitivity and feeling the intensely confused emotions of a young man." 08.03.2005 – Premiere of “La Clemenza di Tito” (Volksoper Wien) Die Presse – 11.03.2005 "The singing in particular impressed the audience at the premiere performance: With her clear intonation and her fine-timbre mezzo Antigone Papoulkas sang a superb ‘SESTO’. Her presentation of “Deh, per questo istante solo” was performed with such a tender and melancholic voice that is rarely to be heard." Kurier – 17.03.2005 "Remarkable was Antigone Papoulkas’ debut in the role of ‘SESTO’ touching the audience with her clear and pure voice." Wiener Zeitung – 11.03.2005 "The ‘SESTO’ in particular deserves praise. There isn’t a moment when Antigone Papoulkas fails to captivate the audience with her brilliant performance and beautiful voice. A singer of startling versatility distinguished by her high and low register, her tender crescendo and her ardent forte. A flawless performance that leaves a memorable impression apart from all of today’s ‘sing alongs’." Kronen-Zeitung – 12.11.2004 "Antigone Papoulkas made her debut as ROSINA in a cute stage set. Her well-balanced and warm timbre is convincing and her coquettish and easy interacting with the ‘gentlemen’ an absolute success."
