"Mlada
Khudoley was a lovely Sieglinde,
with a moving vulnerability about her. She
has the vocal goods for the role of fiery
Sieglinde"
Julia Notte Opera-L

Die Walkure at Teatr Wielki Warsaw, Poland

“Mlada
Khudoley sang beautifully and
radiantly as Sieglinde…”

"Mlada Khudoley as
Norma shows feelings
between glowing rage and austerely dolor. That
the singer is pregnant actually makes her
feelings so much more authentic probably. This
Norma touches the audience’s hearts.“

"Mlada
Khudoley
is a Norma of huge sensation
with expressive gesture and posture. She has a
warm, but also powerful is voice, a brilliant
soprano without sharpness in its height and
with beautiful, sustainable depth.“
Südkurier

"Mlada
Khudoley,
advanced in pregnancy,
in the role of priestess Norma copes with her
main-part with tender soprano. However, her
soprano has the power to drown out the
complete choir in the right moment.“
Ostschweizerinnen

“Mlada
Khudoley
sings the title-role controlled,
with an enchanting dear piano in <<Casta Diva>>
but if necessary has a powerful voice to drown
out the complete choir as well. Deftly she
negotiates leaps and scales, colorful emphasis
and sustained peak-notes and stays the course
over three hours with a long breath.”
St. Galler Tagblatt

“As the heroine
Fevronia,
Mlada
Khudoley,
triumphed,
somehow sounding fresh even
in unaccompanied lines after hours of
challenging singing.”
Opera News
October 2003
“Mlada
Khudoley
was a glorious
Sieglinde, impassioned in Act I and,
like any great interpreter of the role,
even more riveting in Act II.”
Opera News
October 2003
“The cast was
splendid.
Mlada
Khudoley
brought her cool,
gleaming and beautifully earthy soprano
voice to the tiring role of Fevronia, which,
like an Italian spinto role, requires lyrical
elegance and dramatic power.”
New York Times
July 18, 2003
“She
gave an excellent and
distinctive performance, vocally robust
and dramatically vulnerable.”
Washington Post
November 17, 2003
"The way Mlada Khudolei,
for instance,
threw herself into Sieglinde's ecstasy
and terror in "Die Walkure" made
her about the most exciting exponent
of the role since Leonie Rysanek."

“"Mlada
Khudoley was beautiful of voice and person as Liza,
full-blooded
in attack, and again it was wonderful to hear
Russian sung by a native speaker."”

(November 8, 2006 after Royal Opera House
Covent Garden debut as Lisa in “Pique Dame”)
“"And
to complete a fine Russian trio at the heart of this
baleful work, Mlada Khudoley (in her Covent Garden
debut) summons lacerating power and seemingly
inexhaustible angst as the deluded Liza, seduced
by Gherman into
dumping her bland Prince
only to realise too late that Gherman is
obsessed with the gaming-tables, not her."”
Richard Morrison in Covent Garden,
London Times November 13, 2006
“Mlada Khudoley makes a successful
house debut as Liza.”

Khudoley was a sexually aggressive
Sieglinde, she and Domingo making a striking couple.”

Translation:
"Above all Russian Mlada Khudoley shines
in
the title role. She has the ability to stimulate the
classic-romantic vesture of Bellini with her soprano
– by breakneck coloratura-cresting she breathed
musical dramatic into the scenes.“
Thurgauer Zeitung, June 20, 2005
"I had the
pleasure to experience Mlada Khudoley's
interpretation of the role of 'Sieglinde'in the
performance of Die Walkure with the
Mariinsky
Opera, conducted by Valery Gergiev, in Baden-Baden
on 26th December 2003. She is a first-class
singer and actress and on that occasion she
demonstrated admirably both her musicality
and a stage presence to match."
Charles Kaye
Adviser to the late Sir Georg Solti
"Mlada Khudoley brought
the same raw
passion to the treacherous princess
Voyslava
as to her Sieglinde (Die Walkure)"
