9“Finally, one can't help but understand Wotan […] yielding to the sublime, sparkling bronze singing of Melissa Zgouridi's Erda, an ideally Wagnerian young mezzo, who passionately binds us to her every word ("I know all that was, all that will be"). Coming from the Urwala and messenger of Eternity, her mysterious warning has the superior accentuations of the great tragediennes of the past.”
"Finally, Melissa Zgouridi's Flosshilde - who also sings Erda this evening - with her broad, velvety, powerful timbre, stands out for the clarity of her vowels and the length of her phrases. In the final scene, the lyricism of her tessitura, as well as the constancy of her projection and the intensity of her vibrato in the upper register, are particularly noteworthy”.

7“…the Wagner performance in Saarbrücken [is] on a remarkable level...in addition, Melissa Zgouridi, delivers a terrific Erda with a sonorous, deep-timbered mezzo-soprano."
“What quickly strikes you is the latent aggression of almost all the protagonists, who only receive a gush of warmth with the appearance of Erda in a garden paradise. She, Melissa Zgouridi, was also especially applauded at the end. [Zgouridi] has long since become a crowd favorite in Saarbrücken.”
“Ruggiero was sung by Melissa Zgouridi in the premiere. [This is] a role that demands enormous strength & needs the vocal security that Zgouridi brings, along [with her] vibrant tone.”
"And then the voices: In this production, they almost deliver an overabundance of good sound…& then especially Melissa Zgouridi [with] an enchantingly beautiful mezzo, strong characterization, warm, full of colors. If you heard her as Ruggiero, in this trouser role, the possible casting of the part with a countertenor would seem almost absurd."
