“Michael Kupfer-Radecky and Gabriela Scherer match their brilliantly portrayed nouveau-riche Gibichungs with equally strong vocal performances.”
Nordbayerischer Kurier

“Michael Kupfer-Radecky and Gabriela Scherer fully authenticate their dazzling portrayal of the nouveau riche Gibichungs with equally compelling vocal performances.”
Joachim Lange, Neue Musikzeitung

“Michael Kupfer-Radecky and Gabriela Scherer not only sing to perfection, but also impress with their acting as the nouveau riche Gibichung siblings.”
Antonia Goldhammer, BR Klassik

“As biting, sharp, and brilliantly caricatured ‘Geissens’, Gabriela Scherer (Gutrune) and Michael Kupfer-Radecky (Gunther) once again broke completely out of all conventional molds! Yes, music theater at its very finest!!”
Andre Sokolowski, Kultura Extra

“Michael Kupfer-Radecky and Gabriela Scherer effectively chewed the scenery as the Gibichungs”
Micaela Baranello, Parterre

“In stark contrast, his sister, Gutrune, well sung and acted by Swiss soprano,
Gabriela Scherer, is gracefully attired in a bright-green trouser outfit…”
Tony Cooper, The Opera Critic Reviews

“Gutrune, the sister, strikingly clad in vivid poison-green fabrics and so often reduced to mere dramatic filler, is sung by Gabriela Scherer with commanding presence, a hint of bite, and a soprano tinged with metal. I like it a lot.”
Konzert Kritik Berlin

“…And Gutrune, portrayed by Gabriela Scherer, is of a very high level both on stage and vocally.”
Livia Bidoli, Gothic Network

“Also Olafur Sigurdarson’s Alberich, Michael Kupfer-Radecky’s Gunther, and
Gabriela Scherer’s visually and vocally striking Gutrune remained unchanged from
last year’s cast list as well.”
Frank Piontek, Kulturbrief

“Michael Kupfer-Radecky and Gabriela Scherer impress both vocally and
dramatically, whether as pretentious, clueless nouveaux riches or as the sibling pair
Gunther and Gutrune, led to ruin by Hagen.”
Axel Wuttke, Der Opernfreund

“After the magnificent call of the horn from the pit, Siegfried explains himself to
Gabriela Scherer’s Gutrune, whose well-adorned singing underscores the
character’s superficiality.”
Christine Ducque, Forum Opera
