REVIEWS

"Mathias Hausmann's portrayal of Stephan brings vocal brilliance and powerful emotions to the production. A rare find, highly recommended for further viewing."
Jürgen Rickert - Orpheus Magazin

"Mathias Hausmann offers a more complex interpretation of Germont as a strict but ultimately loving father who wants the best for his two children and only becomes aware of the extent of the damage he has caused by separating Violetta and Alfredo when it is too late. Hausmann evokes a certain degree of sympathy for this character, who, despite his blindness to the consequences of his actions, cares for the interests of his daughter, who does not appear in the opera."
Detlef Obens - Das Opernmagazin

"Mathias Hausmann gives a vocally powerful performance as Faninal, with a magnificent stage presence – thankfully one of the not-too-whiny kind."
Kaspar Sannemann - Oper Aktuell
