International appearances

That applies ... to the Queen of the Night, who fights for her daughter as well as for her power. Ingrid Kaiserfeld has the vocal spectrum for both lyrical warmth and coloratura brilliance. ” She then sang this role in Frankfurt am Main , at the Mozart Festival La Coruna (May 2003), in the Deutsche Oper Berlin , in Toulouse and the Vienna State Opera , in Lyon and Opera Bastille Paris (both 2004) and finally in 2005 in a new production under Claudio Abbado in Italy and Germany (Festspielhaus Baden-Baden) and at the Teatro Regio Turin (2006). This gave Ingrid Kaiserfeld the necessary attention to establish herself as a Mozart interpreter. This was followed by roles such as Donna Anna ( Don Giovanni ) in the Glyndebourne Opera Festival under Louis Langree and in the Konwitschny production at the Komische Oper Berlin .
