Hogan’s Brünnhilde was magnificent throughout the final operas, bright and thrilling in Siegfried, incisive and sympathetic in Götterdämmerung in the role’s many demands, not least in terms of stamina, and crowned by a compelling immolation scene.

“Kelly Cae Hogan presents herself as a first class Turandot. What this woman has for vocal reserves! With hardly restrained emotional power, she reveals how much the cruel oppressor herself is prisoner of a merciless system. HNA, Werner Fritsch, March 30, 2015

“From her first entrance as Turandot, at the very back of the spacious, multi-level stage, Kelly Cae Hogan impressed with a vocal power which did not decrease, even as she sang the subsequent riddle-scene lying flat on her belly. Still the American soprano unveiled more vocally radiant power through the conclusion of the riddles, where she overtrumped not only Calaf, but also the combined orchestras and massive chorus. The debut of Kelly Cae Hogan was vocally outstanding and also extremely convincing.” Kieler Nachtrichtung
