Melinda Bargreen’s Seattle Times review “This Siegfried is a Superstar,” is a perfect example of the excitement generated by the singers, Stephen Wadsworth's directing, and Asher Fisch's conducting. She described Stefan Vinke: “Huge of voice, unflagging of stamina, imaginative and energetic on the stage: this was the finest Siegfried Seattle has ever presented.” Have a look here, here, and here for a few more reviews.
