Volksoper Wien - Der Opernball - HENRI |
The role of Henri suits Elmadfa ( mezzo soprano) perfectly well. She is very convincing as Henri, the Schachtelhuber's nephew, who takes glances at Helene. Elmadfa never makes an androgyn impression and doesn't play with exaggerated gender stereotyping. Her entire behavious on stage, her body language and facial expressions is masculinely scurlish. She is defenitively the best actress of the evening. Hats off to so much pubescent, youthful charms!

Sympathetic, youthfully fresh, the nephew Henri (Amira Elmadfa)

Amira Elmadfa as Henri, who sang with a beautiful mezzo voice and played enhtusiastically.
|
Online Merker www.der-neue-merker.eu |
Among the soloists Amira Elmadfa as Henri with her beautiful mezzo voice and her enthusiasm are particularly worth mentioning.

Mottingers Meinung www.mottingers-meinung.at |
...and Amira Elmadfa filled the stage on her own and caught the listener's attention with her warm timbred mezzo voice..
|
Pressreader www.pressreader.com |
Except for Sieglinde Feldhofer (Helene) and Amira Elmadfa (Henri) there is mostly vocal dullness.

Nationaloper Weimar - Dido und Aeneas - DIDO |
With the mezzo soprano Amira Elmadfa as Dido....who has a warm timbred voice with grounded depth. Her authentic singing, a kind of deeply touching pureness, creates islands of musical art midst all shallows of Dido’s struggle with her memories.
|
Opernglas – 1/2018 |
...only Amira Elmadfa as Dido and Heike Porstein as Belinda were outstanding.
|
Thüringer Landeszeitung |
Terrific, almost world-class work has been done here. Especially by Amira Elmadfa (Dido). Her softly timbered mezzosoprano voice, which beautifully endures every single emotional state, is certainly to be kept in mind.

Staatsoper Unter den Linden Berlin – Rivale - CLORINDE |
"There she is. Amira Elmadfa standing on a platform marked out by iron rods."
"With her dark brown eyes and her charming smile she looks the audience right into the eyes. Being just a arm’s length away from the spectators, she cannot hide anything nor does she want to. Unsparing of herself she reveals her emotions little by little…
With only her melodious mezzo voice and astounding physical play, Amira Elmadfa illustrates her current situation and the upcoming tragic development in this chamber opera for a female voice by Lucia Ronchetti…"
"A mysterious, psychologically meant event, sung by Amira Elmadfa in all variations.
Overall this is an extremely demanding part, but Amira’s voice does more than sing in this 60 minutes solo work. It is able to scrape, slide, scream, soundfully whisper and sing coloraturas, never sounding unpleasant. (Amira Elmadfa made her debut at the Vienna Popular Opera in the season 2016/17 with Mozart’s Cherubino)"
"One can hear ove and hate, fear and determination. Everyone understands what is happening and how she is feeling even without the translation. Besides because of her convincing play, one cannot get one’s eyes off of her."
"This exceptional performance was rewarded by a big, long applause"
|
Ursula Wiegand www.der-neue-merker.eu |
"…with the inauguration of the new work shop, the state opera celebrated a big success, due in the first place to the wonderful singer-actress Amira Elmadfa. With her dark, brilliant mezzosoprano voice she doesn’t just sing, she also currs, whispers and hisses. Breathtakingly perfect she changes between recitative and melody. The performance started with a long silence and also ended with one, due to the audience’s emotions and it’s admiration for the soloist." |

Staatsoperette Dresden - Figaros Hochzeit - CHERUBINO |

Also big applause for the audience's darling Amira Elmadfa as Cherubino. |
Bild - Jürgen Helfricht |
Amira Elmadfa is very convincing, not only vocally . Her portrayal of the page Cherubino has an androgyn touch and is a true enrichment for the erotic bunch. |
Morgenpost |
Amira Elmaffa is a nice, amusing, Cherubino, ... |
Sächsische Zeitung - Jens-Daniel Schubert |

Staatstheater Darmstadt - La Calisto - JUNO |
'Also Juno (vocally beautiful and impressive : Amira Elmadfa) the jelaous wife has some different facets. One moment, she sovereignly guides a revenge campain and the next she suddenly covers her face with her hands, crying over Jupiter's repetitive cheatings. Her crying really gets under one's skin..' |

‚Amira Elmadfa is a passionately singing t Octavian with a enchantingly beautiful dark mezzo soprano vcoice and „great“ tone.‘ |
OnlineMusicMagazin |
‚With Amira Elmadfa as Octavian on her side, she had an overwhelmingly enthusiastic and vocally souvereign singer. Both in the breeches role as in in skirt she has an intnsive stage presence, credibly demonstrating the metamorphosis from "boy" to man.‘ |
Freie Presse |
Kiel Theatre - Don Giovanni - ZERLINA |
Like Zerlina, who Amira Elmadfa doesn't portray as a naive kitten but as a wonderfully mozart-like purring mezzo lioness with sharp claws. |
