Sieglinde in DIE WALKÜRE Act I
Montréal Symphony Orchestra
“American soprano Heidi Melton was lustrous as his beloved Sieglinde, and a good actress, which is saying something given her lack of things to do in a concert setting.”
-Arthur Kaptainis, Montreal Gazette
“Nagano had surrounded himself with seasoned singers. The most surprising was Heidi Melton, who had worked her Sieglinde with a director or a particularly inspiring leader. She obviously knows every corner of the character's mood, she sings with an impressive chest voice, but also a rare intelligence. This is a major incarnation, certainly one of the top three in the world currently.”
-Christophe Huss, Le Devoir
