Le nozze di Figaro / Mozart
Hannover Staatsoper
“Nikki Treurniet's Susanna pulls all the strings over three and a half acts. With a versatile, fantastically confident voice and radiant tones, she shaperd her role and showed all its facets from girlish to sly. In the fourth act, she also demonstrates a moving emotionality. I suffered with her in every scene. It doesn't get any better than that.”

“Soprano Nikki Treurniet succeeds particularly well as the second vampyre bride, when she wraps the whole hall in warmth with her great solo song.”

“…what a surprise to hear the Dutch soprano Nikki Treurniet sing and act a fantastically supple and glowing Susanna. What a beautiful development this singer has undergone.”
