This season she makes her debut as Rosalinde for Choriner Opernsommer and sings the world premiere of “Variaciones de soledad y esperanza” by Roberto Sierra with the acclaimed Trío Arbós, and appears at the Vermelhos Festival in Ilhabela, Brasil…
“[Schwedhelm] commanded every corner of the stage with a sweet, yet present voice…”
“…se apropió de cada rincón del escenario con una voz dulce, ligera pero no por ello menos presente y siempre armoniosa…”
Mauricio López, EnPelotas.com, 6/10/2016
“…[Ana] embodies a convincing lover, glowing from the inside yet frail on the outside…”
“…sie verkörpert auch stimmlich überzeugend die innerlich glühende, aber äußerlich spröde Liebende, deren Sehnsucht, sterblich zu werden, sie schließlich in ein Niemandsland verbannt.”
Klaus Kalchschmid, Süddeutsche Zeitung, 22/07/2015
“…the velvet voice of Ana Gabriella Schwedhelm and her good diction… her interpretation was excellent. The six songs are very different in character and the soprano always found the right spot of delivering them naturally, without mannerism…
the soprano sang them with the maturity that experience brings. We shall attentively follow her career.”
