“…fantastically confident voice and radiant tones,”
Nikki Treurniet’s Susanna pulls all the strings over three and a half acts. With a versatile, fantastically confident voice and radiant tones, she shaperd her role and showed all its facets from girlish to sly. In the fourth act, she also demonstrates a moving emotionality. I suffered with her in every scene. It doesn’t get any better than that.

ABOUT NIKKI
Dutch soprano Nikki Treurniet has established herself as a sensitive and versatile soloist, performing opera, orchestral repertoire and chamber music on international stages.
As a light lyric soprano with a lusciously warm sound, Nikki feels at home in repertoire ranging from the baroque to newly commissioned works of the present day. She is gaining recognition for her particularly sensitive interpretations of Mozart and is particularly drawn to the music of the late-romantic French impressionists.
This season Nikki is a guest at the Komische Oper Berlin to sing Joanna in Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd and Gretel in Humperdinck’s Hänsel und Gretel. Concert highlights of this season include Mozart’s requiem with Rundfunkchor Berlin conducted by Gijs Leenaars, Bach’s Matthäus Passion with the Concertgebouw Chamberorchestra and Beethoven’s Egmont with the Residentie Orchestra in The Hague conducted by Richard Egarr.
She will sing Beethoven’s theatrical piece again at the Zaterdagmatinee with the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra in a Dutch translation by Wim T. Schippers.
