Vida Miknevičiūtė

In the story of Faust, Marguerite is the one who suffers the hardest blows of fate. The hapless love, her brother’s death, the loss of her newborn child and the subsequent loss of her mind… In Gounod’s opera, the wretched fate of this young, open-hearted girl is ingeniously carved in the sopranos arias using strikingly different colours and sensitive musical characterization. Vida Miknevičiūtė is the ideal choice for Marguerite. Her life and work experience vindicates the naïveté of Marguerite whom she portrays with motherly compassion, thereby making us believe in her sincerity. The voice of Vida who has established herself as a prominent singer in Germany reflects the qualities that should be taken as a rule in this country – diligence, precision, and punctuality. When you attend her operatic appearances you simply know that she will deliver the highest quality performance. Having embarked on her professional career right after completing her studies in Lithuania, Vida currently enjoys a busy schedule of leading roles at Berlin Staatsoper, Bayerische Staatsoper Munich, Wiener Staatsoper also traveling all the way to Australia.
