"Mucksmäuschenstill war es, als Nora Friedrichs ihre blitzsauberen Koloraturen aus Gildas Arie „Caro nome“ einem höchst aufmerksam lauschenden Publikum präsentierte. Der Auftritt der Sopranistin war Höhepunkt eines [...] dargebotenen Konzertes."

"From the large supporting cast, the Iris of Nora Friedrichs deserves a mention as a perfectly sung, high-pitched innocent."
