As Santuzza
in Cavalleria Rusticana |
"Cav's betrayed heroine Santuzza was performed by the sensational
Eugenie Grunewald, who could be the new generation's mezzo-soprano
of one's dreams. Her magnificent, expressive voice cuts right through to the heart of
the listener, while it cocoons the ears in gorgeous sound. "

".....a compelling singer, the huge-voiced dramatic
Mezzo-Soprano Eugenie Grunewald portrayed the desperate
Santuzza." |
-The Wall Street Journal |
"Vocally, the evening belonged
to the magnificent Santuzza of Eugenie Grunewald,
intense, huge-voiced and comfortable with the kind
of elemental verbal expression that this mini-marathon
of a part demands. Thank goodness (in this age of
Lyric Didons and Amnerises) that someone is willing
and able to go the distance and perform Santuzza
on this scale.

As Santuzza in Cavalleria Rusticana "Mezzo-Soprano
Eugenie Grunewald soared on a high-gloss, richly
colored instrument as the dishonored Santuzza
..."

-San Antonio Express News |
"Eugenie Grunewald was a complete
knockout as the wounded, vengeful Santuzza� Her
singing was a gorgeous, tragic wail." |
-Austin American-Statesman |
"First
and foremost is Grunewald, who owned the stage the
second she opened her mouth to sing. She possesses
an incredibly powerful voice, but one that never
loses it's delicacy and flexibility for the sake
of volume, qualities ably demonstrated in the aria
"Voi lo sapete" and in the high-intensity duets
with the tenor and baritone ." |
