Press Reviews
Die Lustigen Weiber von Windsor
Frau Fluth wird von der aus Pforzheim stammenden dramatischen
Koloratursopranistin Elena Fink verkörpert. Ihr strahlender Sopran,
mit klangschönen reinen Spitzentönen beeindruckt, vor allem da
bei ihr alles völlig unangestrengt klingt. Auch ihr hübsches äußeres
Erscheinungsbild und ihr keckes mehr als rollendeckendes Spiel
mit einer großen Portion Charme kann voll überzeugen.
Der Opernfreund, April 2018
Proserpina, Opera House, Wuppertal
...Elena Fink tackles the title role with determination and aplomb.
Financial Times, April 2010
WDR 3 Variationen/WDR 3 Variation
…Die Elettra der Elena Fink in Mozarts „Idomeneo“ hat internationales Niveau;
…Elena Fink's interpretation of Elektra in Mozart's "Idomeneo" has international
level;
Harmonie und geballtes Können
Sopranistin Elena Fink erklimmt mal verschmitzt, mal flott die Höhen aller
Töne, sei es als Marguerite in der Arie von Charles Gounods "Faust" oder mit
Otto Nicolais "Nun eilt herbei" aus "Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor“.
Die blonde Sopranistin versprüht im Handumdrehen ihren Charme auf jeder
Bühne, so wundert es nicht, dass ihr das auch im Forum am Schlosspark
gelingt.

Proserpina and each other in a giant
high-heeled shoe, in a gynaecologist’s

treating Proserpina nicely. Neither
Goethe’s text nor Wolfgang Rihm’s music
quite cover it. So director Hans Elena Fink, with Sascha Jähnert (left) and Andreas Jähnert
Neuenfels has filled in the blanks.
Proserpina, Rihm’s setting of Goethe’s monodrama for soprano solo, women’s choir and
chamber orchestra, first saw the light of day last year in Schwetzingen, south-west Germany. It
comes to Wuppertal’s opera stage this spring in special circumstances. On the one hand,
Essen and the surrounding Ruhr valley celebrate a high level of creative excellence as
Europe’s 2010 cultural capital. On the other, many of the region’s theatres are threatened with
closure; the fate of Wuppertal’s hangs in the balance, and Hagen, Oberhausen, Moers and
Essen are also at risk. Wuppertal is fighting back with human chains, petitions, T-shirts,
slogans and now this, Neuenfels’ personal vision of Hades.

Fireman HankWDR 3 Variationen Mit Klaus Leymann Heute: Viel besser, als es sich bislang herumgesprochen hat: die Wuppertaler Oper Wuppertaler Opernhaus Wuppertal hat ein bemerkenswert junges Ensemble, prädestiniert für einen außerordentlichen Spielplan. In Wuppertal entdeckt der Opernfan Martinus "Griechische Passion" als aktuelles politisches Musiktheater. Haydns "L’incontro improvviso" gerät zur anrührenden Begegnung von Orient und Okzident, und Richard Strauss’ "Arabella" wird zur Parabel über den Tod. Unvergesslich. Dass in Zeiten wie diesen Puccinis "La Bohème" in Wuppertal eiseskalt und bitter ausfällt, versteht sich von selbst. Die Elettra der Elena Fink in Mozarts "Idomeneo" hat internationales Niveau; Banu Böke und Kay Stiefermann singen in "Arabella" absolut souverän. Und werden begleitet von einem Orchester, das blendend in Form ist. Trotzdem sind Qualitäten wie diese anscheinend nur ein paar Eingeweihten bekannt. Warum interessieren sich nicht mehr junge Zuschauer für dieses junge Theater? Rutscht "Oper" unaufhaltsam weiter auf ein Nebengleis? Wir stellen die alltägliche Arbeit im Haus vor und reden mit Intendant Johannes Weigand und seinem Ensemble.!
