Notes and evidence

  1. ↑ The nationality of the singer is currently unclear. The Salzburg Festival calls her “a Slovak soprano” (in the English press release on the YSP), another time as a “Hungarian-Slovakian soprano” (in the short German biography), a third time as a “Hungarian soprano” (in the blog about the MIDEM concert in Cannes). The Bertelsmann Foundation lists their nationality as "Slovakia". In June 2013 she represented Hungary as a finalist at the Cardiff Singer of the World competition .
  2. ↑ Various sources name the Second Witch as her role in this production, which, however, is a mezzo-soprano role.
