FEMME FRAGILE, FEMME FATALE
„Evmorfia Metaxaki is a great title interpreter in Strauss‘ SALOME“

ORPHEUS, 01/2023

Greek soprano Evmorfia Metaxaki critically acclaimed for her performance as the title role in Strauss´ Salome, celebrates her success as an opera singer not only because of her powerful, silver sparkling voice, confident in all registers, but also for her versatility with which she slips into every role. For her portrayal of Salome, she was named VOICE OF THE YEAR 2022 by Opernratgeber in Germany and BEST VOCAL PERFORMER by Der Opernfreund for having fulfilled Strauss ´demand for a 16-year-old princess with Isolde´s voice.

Highlights of the last season include her role debuts as Tatyana in Tchaikovsky´s Eugene Onegin as well as Marguerite in Gounod´s Faust. Her 2024/25 season begins with the title role in Lehár´s Die lustige Witwe and continues with leading roles, including Mimi in Puccini´s La Bohème and Micaela in Bizet´s Carmen. As a champion of an unusually wide range of repertoire, Evmorfia will perform the role of Iseut in Frank Martin´s Oratorio Le vin herbé. Her future repertoire includes two more role debuts: the Marschallin in Strauss´s Der Rosenkavalier in 2025 and the tittle role in Puccini´s Tosca in 2026.

Sublime role debut as Mimi

On April 2024, Evmorfia Metaxaki made her role debut as Mimi in Angela Denoke´s new production of Puccini ´s LA BOHÈME at the Theater Lübeck. According to the press:

„Evmorfia managed a touching to poignant interpretation of Mimi with magically formed piano passages, great bows and outstanding dramatic accents. A role that you could hardly wish for better. An impressive achievement.“
