FAZ / Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
“A perfect vocal ensemble (…)
Josefine Göhmann, in turn, excelled as the unfaithful wife in both operas, with her commanding stage presence and the sensual timbre of her perfectly controlled soprano. (…)
The musically inspiring force, however, came from Irene Delgado-Jiménez at the helm of the outstanding Wiener KammerOrchester.”
Peter Blaha, 5/6 June 2026
Kurier
“A furious finale (…) Josefine Göhmann beguiles as Lady Magnesia. She reaches every high note with ease and brings a sensuous tone to Martinů’s Armande.”
Susanne Zobl, 3 June 2026

“A resounding success. (…) Josefine Göhmann shone as Lady Magnesia and Armande.”

Die Presse
“Josefine Göhmann sings the wives with a richly expressive, full-bodied soprano.”
Walter Weidringer, 3 June 2026
Der Standard
“Sharp, pointed direction. (…) The singing is outstanding.”
Ljubisa Tosic, 3 June 2026
Online Merker
“From the brilliant ensemble, Josefine Göhmann stands out as the unfaithful (or, in fact, faithful) wife, effortlessly assured both dramatically and vocally: super-sexy and secure in the upper register. A joy, a delight.”
Robert Quitta, 12 June 2026
ConcertoNet
“At the centre of the performance was soprano Josefine Göhmann, who sang both Lady Magnesia and Armande, proving the indispensable pivot of the double bill.”
Ossama el Naggar, 2 June 2026
Kronen Zeitung
“Convincing: Josefine Göhmann, Jacob Phillips, Peter Kirk.”
Dr Karlheinz Roschitz, 3 June 2026
Oper in Wien
“Josefine Göhmann triumphed as Lady Magnesia and Armande, with Martinů’s Armande proving the more rewarding role for this versatile singer.”
