Biography

«Brunnhilde was Olga Sergeeva, who has sung that role at the Met before(and under Mr. Gergiev). She can handle the part, which is somethingto be grateful for, because Brunnhildes don't grow on trees. She wasnever less than adequate, and, at her best, she was touching».
The New York Sun

«The Brunnhilde, Olga Sergeeva, gave an impassioned and often subtle account of this touchstone and demanding role».
The New York Times

«Soprano Olga Sergeeva, with her focussed and silvery voice, created a living and believable Kuma, offering a stream-like legato in the gorgeous melodic line».
