Magnifiquement interprété…
“Lucie Kaňková a été étourdissante dans le rôle de la Reine de la Nuit, avec le célébrissime air « Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen » qu’elle a interprété sans faille, lançant ses notes les plus aiguës avec puissance et une imparable justesse.”

In Liège, The Magic Flute: The Queen of the Night by Lucie Kankova takes us to entirely other spheres
“The Queen of the Night by Lucie Kankova takes us to entirely other spheres with her authority and vocal ease. A little under the damper, by the distant and static presence imposed on its first appearance by the directors, for its O Zittre nicht, of the first act, she totally liberated the full measure of […]
Lüttich: „Die Zauberflöte“, Der Opernfreund
“Ein gesundes Maß an Schärfe steht der tadellosen Königin der Nacht von Lucie Kaňková hingegen ausgezeichnet: die Tschechin lässt die atemberaubenden Koloraturen scheinbar mühelos aus sich heraus perlen und bringt das nötige Feuer für die Rolle der rachsüchtigen Mutter mit.” IhrJochen Rüth 29.

Lucia di Lammermoor: Great musical experience
„…The duo of the soprano and the flutist is always one of the spectacular moments of the opera, which the audience eagerly awaits. Flutist Václav Lenc has a beautiful, full tone, the mastered dynamics in his demanding solo part he fully captured the fragility of a broken human soul. On stage, his interplay with LucieKaňková […]
In both arias she demonstrated technical virtuosity
“The Queen of the Night of both premieres was the young Czech coloratura soprano Lucie Kaňková, one of the few optimal (if not the only one) representatives of the supremely difficult part in the Czech and Slovak region. In both arias she demonstrated not only technical virtuosity (at the premiere she even added an unwritten […]
