Le Monde calls Marisol Montalvo “a true revelation” as the title role in Lulu, performed in Berlin in 2012, exclaiming that “The American soprano possesses real stage and vocal presence, and executes the exhausting role with incredible intensity” following performances at the Opéra National de Paris. The demanding Berg role has grown to be a centerpiece of the soprano’s repertoire at many of the world’s finest houses including the Deutsche Oper Berlin, Teatro de la Maestranza, Opéra de Toulouse, Komische Oper Berlin, and in the acclaimed Calixto Bieto production at Theater Basel.
