"The Brünnhilde of Ingela Brimberg overshadows all others. In her final scene she fascinates with vocal and theatrical intensity."

Place de l'Opéra

her Salome is as vocal as it is expressive, right up to the grand final monologue.

Generall Anzeiger Bonn

Great is the role debut of Ingela Brimberg as Isolde. Her voice is like a vibrating beam, energetic and agile at the same time.
