De Nederlandse sopraan Eva-Maria Westbroek opent het seizoen 2014/2015 van de Royal Opera House Covent Garden in Londen met de titelrol van de opera ‘Anna Nicole’ van Mark Anthony Turnage.

Eva-Maria Westbroek zong de partij al in 2011 tijdens de wereldpremière. De pers is na de herneming opnieuw lovend over de Nederlandse sopraan:

“A strong cast is led by the tireless Eva-Maria Westbroek” (The Evening Standard)

“Eva-Maria Westbroek’s Anna was utterly compelling, ranging a full stretch of emotions from childish tantrums to lyric grief, with changes in vocal colour to match” (The Arts Desk)

“In the title role, Eva-Maria Westbroek gives a performance of fabulous uninhibited bravado” (The Telegraph)

“Eva-Maria Westbroek gives everything to the title role, hinting throughout at the vulnerability and sadness beneath the slap and silicone” (The Guardian)
