Linda Watson is creating the Götterdämmerung-Brünnhilde in the new production of the Ring at the Deutsche Oper am Rhein, Düsseldorf/Duisburg
"LINDA WATSON still impresses with her vocal reserves and her safe high notes as Brünnhilde."
Christoph Zimmermann, DER NEUE MERKER 10/2018
Michael Weinius (Siegfried) and Linda Watson (Brünnhilde)
"2018 Linda Watson without doubt is singing on the highest level of Wagnersinging in our time.
Her warm tempered dark gold colored voice flows even more effortless. As long as she is a human being her Watson-Brünnhilde shows of intelligence led temperament and unrestrained passion. As soon as she becomes goddess again ("Starke Scheite") her charisma is of supernatural grace and she acts vocally and physically decided and fair without a hint of doubt.
This is truly dramatic operatic art."
