OÖN - Michael Wruss
The Japanese soprano Mari Moriya was an ideal candidate for the difficult and not always rewarding role of Lakmé. Both in the lyrical passages she could inspire a veritable soft piano, and with the virtuoso coloratura in the "Bell Song". This was a fabulous game. In the duet with her as well as finely made music Elsa Giannoulidou Mallika. The only 29-year-old tenor Jacques le Roux enthusiastic in the role of Gérald, surprised with amazing height safety, finely phrased lyrical phrases and a lot of musical ground feeling. Myung Joo Lee was also sublime in the small role of Ellen. Timbre and present Seho Chang as Nilakantha. Giulio Alvise Caselli left a good impression in the scenic and musical design of Frédéric.
