"For the entire hundred minutes of this opera, performed without intermission, Maeve Höglund, as Iphigenia, is the focal point of the entire narrative. All other characters are connected to her. We experience the events consistently from her perspective. She is the woman who struggles with the horrific images of her childhood and who, in an act of resistance against the imposed inhumanity, will finally free herself, her brother Orestes, and their friend Pylades through compassion and self- determination. Her commanding stage presence and exceptionally expressive singing make her performance an enormously gripping theatrical experience. The range of her vocal expression is vast: the singer imbues her voice with fearful loneliness, protest, grief, and profound empathy, thus liberating this role from its traditional image of classical soullessness."
Bachtrack Christoph Wurzel , March 18, 2026
"With Maeve Höglund, Freiburg has a first-class Alcina who, as in the aria..., can display a wide range of emotions. For the first time, this sorceress is truly in love."
Georg Rudiger, Sudkurier
"Like a string of pearls, extraordinarily precious arias are lined up one after another. When they are performed, it sometimes feels as if time stands still. An example: Alcina’s da capo aria 'Ah! mio cor' in the second act. Expressive lament in the outer sections, pride and drama in the middle. With soprano Maeve Höglund , this aria becomes an emotional center piece of the evening."
Badische Zeitung
"Maeve Höglund also returned, her explosive voice making a marvel out
of the balkworthy upper soprano part ending the “Veni, creator spiritus” section."
Chicago Tribune
"Soprano soloist Maeve Hoglund's fresh voice was beguiling. She sings with effortless sound that has natural nobility about it."
Shepard Express
"Maeve Hoglund's soprano was a pleasure throughout- easily flexible throughout her range, rich of tone and soaring over the ensemble"
Chicago Classical Review
"Maeve Hoglund was a charming, feisty Susanna, and her stellar soprano brightened the ensembles. Her fine rendition of 'Deh vieni, non tardar' was equally impressive for its warmth and feeling."
Opera News
"...her soaring voice was a revelation, filled with drama and force"
Broadway World
"Maeve Höglund plays in the first part a Susanna skilfully on the wire, in a measured and permanent vocal play, which fits perfectly with the concept of staging,"
