Monika Buczkowska-Ward receives glowing reviews for her performance as Sifare in Mozart's Mitridate at Oper Frankfurt.
"Above all, it is the evening of the soprano Monika Buczkowska-Ward as Sifare, who sings with impeccable intonation and striking intensity. It is hard to resist the persuasiveness of this vocal beauty." - Jan Brachmann, FAZ
"The soprano Monika Buczkowska-Ward, scarcely recognizable as a slender youth, is a stunning Sifare - dark-timbred, agile, yet without any virtuoso affectation." Judith von Sternberg, Frankfurter Rundschau
"Monika Buczkowska-Ward offers enchanting youthful enthusiasm and lyrical intimacy in her portrayal of Sifare” - Michael Kaminski, Concerti.de
"In the trouser role of the second-born son Sifare, the soprano Monika Buczkowska-Ward is utterly captivating. One scene is especially enchanting, when she is not only surrounded by shadow figures but also joined onstage by a horn player (Alexander Boukikov), and the two draw closer and closer to each other musically, becoming intertwined (something that is only possible thanks to the special spatial setting)." - Markus Gründig, Kulturfreak.de
"Monika Buczkowska-Ward, as Sifare with her radiant soprano, is a truly congenial partner. Her arias are also packed with coloratura, which Buczkowska-Ward masters with apparent ease. Another highlight is the great duet between the two before the intermission, in which the lovers take leave of one another, again accompanied by the dancers’ fascinating shadow play.” - Thomas Molke, Online Musik Magazin
