Der Kaiser / Die Frau ohne Schatten Oper Frankfurt
1. OFFENBACH POST 11/01/2005 - Klaus Ackermann
....Stuart Skelton's dazzling tenor demonstrated very clearly the amazing character development of the Kaiser....
2. FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE 11/01/2005 - Harald Budweg
....In the homogenous ensemble of soloists, which effortlessly mastered the enduring espressivo, only the roles of the dyer's wife and the ghost messenger were newly cast. Luana DeVol characterises the demanding role of the dyer's wife with the unbroken power of her soprano, as dramatic as it is able to modulate. Stuart Skelton and Silvana Dussmann as governing pair as well as Julia Juon as the nurse and Terje Stensvold in the role of the dyer Barak did not lag behind in the intensity of their vocal and artistic representation.....
3. FRANKFURTER NEUE PRESSE 11/01/2005 - Rudolf Jöckle
....The musical highlight of this performance is completed by the marvellous ensemble of soloists, in which the five main roles have been cast wonderfully evenly: Silvana Dussmann and Stuart Skelton as Empress and Emperor.... ....All soloists sang with just as much vocal substance as aura, also with artistic presence....Excitement already mounted after the pauses, with a raging bravo-storm after the finale.
