Die Zauberflote (Zweite Dame)
Royal Opera HouseOct 2025 - Nov 2025He and Tamino had a great time with the Three Ladies, Hannah Edmunds, Ellen Pearson (both Jette Parker Artists) and Emma Carrington. Their well-blended voices were sharp enough to slay the monster but they nearly forgot themselves in fawning over Tamino.

In a similar vein, during ‘O zittre nicht, mein lieber Sohn’ and ‘Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen’ the Ladies (Hannah Edmunds, Ellen Pearson and Emma Carrington on good form) are joined by three further veiled figures who help to accentuate the Queen of the Night’s presence by moving or swaying around her.

Les Trois Dames, bien que non caractérisées individuellement, ont une place centrale dans l’ouvrage, qui est ici parfaitement occupée par Hannah Edmunds, Ellen Pearson et Emma Carrington. Leur ensemble, très énergique, est homogène et aligné jusqu’aux consonnes finales, toujours bien sonnantes.
