Brangäne in TRISTAN UND ISOLDE

Bayerische Staatsoper

“As Brangäne, Jamie Barton sang with clarity and sympathy, a great counterpoint to Pankratova’s Isolde in Act 1 and a pained friend in Act 3.”
–Bachtrack

“American mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton was a glorious Brangäne, filling out Wagner’s vocal lines with her plush, rich, warmly burnished mezzo voice.”
–Music OMH

“The musical satisfactions are numerous. Barton’s Brangäne [is] touching and well-sung in the warnings and the final pleas.”
–Forum Opéra

“Mezzo-soprano Jamie Barton’s Brangäne is powerful and passionate.”
–IOCO (German)

“Barton outlines a determined Brangäne, almost hostile towards her mistress, with a powerful vocal instrument but capable of bending to sweet and lulling nuances in off-stage interventions during the nocturnal meeting of the two lovers.”
–Operaclick (Italian)

“Jamie Barton’s Brangäne was sincere, communicative, richly resonant.”
–Opera Today

“The Brangäne by the wonderful mezzo Jamie Barton was a real treat. She has a round and perfectly projected voice that makes her one of the best dramatists of the moment.”
–Scherzo
