"Not only does this splendid interpreter make sure that very word is understandable without subtitles, she also has the ideal voice for the part: a lyric spinto soprano with a fluid middle register and an easily accessible but expandable height. And she uses her speaking voice like an actress. You hang on her lips, you mourn with her for her life"

"Tanja Christine Kuhn – young, incredibly talented, and with equally impressive vocal and acting ability – is the big surprise hit of the season’s opening night... She sings Senta’s ballad and the duets with her fiancé Erik as well as the idolized stranger with striking self-assurance. The clarity of her diction blended with [...] at the finest level."
In mastering decrescendos, Kuhn is second to none when she dimes down her forte to a thread-thin tone that vibrates with tension. On top of this, Kuhn plays insistently and her intelligibility is great.
[...] Tanja Christine Kuhn. Because of her the opera should be called Micaela. For do we not go to the opera to experience real drama and great emotions?
[...]The musical side of the opera was done with great beauty by soloists chorus and Orchestra.
In the end however, it was Tanja Christine Kuhn as Micaela that gave is real opera in her big Aria [...]

"The german soprano soloist Tanja Kuhn sang with a pleasant warm and round voice. She moved with agility between the various changing faces of the piece, always being perfect in the intonation and in intention, even during the difficu melodic exchanges with the Choir, unexceptionable and secure in every single Moment.
