Nina Maria Stemme is widely regarded by contemporary opera enthusiasts as the most exceptional Wagnerian soprano of our time, with a reputation that transcends generations and rivals. In 2010, renowned music critic Michael Kimmelman penned a glowing review of one of Stemme's performances in Richard Wagner's iconic opera, Die Walküre.
As Kimmelman so eloquently put it, "As for Brünnhilde, Nina Stemme sang gloriously. It's hard to recall anyone's sounding more commanding or at ease in the part, and that includes Kirsten Flagstad." This testament to Stemme's remarkable talent and artistry speaks volumes about her unwavering commitment to her craft, her unparalleled mastery of the Wagnerian repertoire, and her ability to captivate audiences with her powerful, soaring voice.
