REVIEWS


A marvelously balanced voice with a pleasant timbre, immaculate coloraturas, and easy-fleixble high register also in pianissimo. With Verdi’s Violetta Sophie Klussmann showed the whole spectrum of emotions… but the highlight of the concert was Klußmanns Norma, where she performed in her very own style “Casta Diva”.

(Annerose Fischer-Bucher, Südwest Presse, August 2025)

“Sophie Klussmann as a kongenial interpreter of Britten’s “Les Illuminations” and possesses the necessary light high register and a strong middle register, that gives her the possibility of a very rich interpretation of the colourful poems. Furthermore she doesnt use her multifaceted Soprano voice only for a detailed interpretation of the texts, but also shows the surreal world of Rimbaud by her gestures and mimics. A splendid performance, which received a well deserved applause.”

- Gerhard Tetzlaff, Pforzheimer Zeitung, Mai 2025

Sophie Klussmann delighted with her glamorous interpretation. Her spellbound, romantic and dazzlingly interpretation mesmerised the audience. She sings with a nobly somber and wide-ranging mezzo-soprano-like tone. At moments when she emphasised the brighter soprano-qualities of the songs’ melodies, their fresh and tender nature was heightened.

…Sophie Klussmann is an exception. It needs only few examples from her very rich repertory, to recognize the full diversity in styles of her art. She wants to distinguish!”

Ulf Dressler, Deutsche Lautengesellschaft Ausgabe 3/2023

But there are also the brilliant soprano Sophie Klussmann and the actress Ingeborga
Dapkunaite as female doubles of the immortal father of love, and soon his lovers.

Dass es auch um Liebe geht und dass so eine Liebe an die Existenz gehen kann und tief ins Mark, daran wird man schlagartig erinnert, wenn Sophie Klußmann auftritt. Was für eine wunderbare, klare, zarte und feste Stimme und Persönlichkeit!

There is a very remarkable performance from Sophie Klussmann; giving the role of Pamina the dramatic core of a contemporary girl, her screams of “Mother, Mother!“ are deeply touching.

The marvellous Sophie Klussmann sings the aria ‘Ach, ich fühl’s’ with a haunting, dark timbre
— Berliner Zeitung vom 14.8.11
 
Sophie Klussmann is the star of the performance. With her playful charm and dark-hued soprano, her characterisation of Pamina is both sympathetic and strong.
