		Behrens' to keep for the life of her career and to pass on to a successor of her choice.

	Hildegard Behrens at Philadelphia's Kimmel Center
		That Hildegard Behrens was able to convey any of those ideas so fully, outside of their operatic context and without benefit of a full orchestra, is a sure sign of an extraordinary power to transport listeners to another realm.
		Behrens' steely dramatic soprano destined her for the Wagner and Strauss repertory that made her a star in Munich, Vienna and Paris as well as New York.
		Behrens sings three challenging operatic scenes in her Dec. 11 recital: Kostelnicka's aria from the second act of Janacek's Jenufa, Elektra's Monologue and Brunnhilde's Immolation Scene from Wagner's Götterdaämmerung.

		Behrens' calendar over the past few seasons featured the world premiere of Cronaca del Luogo, a new opera composed specifically for her by Luciano Berio, which opened the Salzburg Festival in the summer of 1999.
		Behrens’ versatility as an artist is demonstrated by her forays outside of her German repertoire.
		Born in Varel-Oldenburg, a small town on the northern coast of Germany, Hildegard Behrens graduated from Law School at the University of Freiburg, where she subsequently studied voice at the conservatory.

		Behrens are: Esa Ruutunen as the Holländer, Jaako Ryhänen as Daland, Jorma Silvasti as Erik, Clemens Bieber as the Steersman, and Mariana Cioromila as Mary.

		Behrens has a long-standing relationship with the Deutsche Oper Berlin which has been the scene of many of her stage triumphs, most recently as Brünnhilde, another signature role, in a complete Ring Cycle production staged in early 1998.

	Met, Tosca (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Sung by Hildegard Behrens and Placido Domingo, the performance was a "big event," which drew a dressy audience including many celebrities.
		Behrens proved a disappointment as the opera singer Floria Tosca, although she sang exceedingly well.
		As vocally unusual as Behrens is, however, she does have a certain hypnotic presence that makes for a totally unusual but not completely unrewarding Floria Tosca.

	IMDb user comments for Tosca (1985) (TV) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Hildegard Behrens, a German/Wagnerian soprano, follows in the footsteps of Birgit Nilsson as Tosca.
		Hildegard Behrens is OK in the role but, like Birgit Nilsson, she is accused of being too Wagnerian, too German, when the role of Tosca is the epitome of Italian womanhood.
		Tosca is played by Hildegard Behrens who appears to be slightly past he sell by when this film was made in 1985.

	Berg Wozzeck (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Hildegard Behrens (Marie) has rarely sounded better, and switches between Straussian lushness and spiky sluttishness with ease.
		The direction is also full of wonderful touches, such as Wozzeck squeezing the Captain's nose while he's shaving him (and making his voice sound like a kazoo), and the musicians of the on-stage band being fully integrated into the tavern scene.
		Behrens sings beautifully, shading her powerful voice down for Marie's prayer (one of the high points of this opera).

		Behrens has a light voice despite her attempt to make it seem bigger than it actually is. She is often screaming rather than singing.
		There is nothing wrong with her performance mind you and Hildegard Behrens is extraordinary and larger-than-life.
		His colleagues, Cornell MacNeil and Hildegard Behrens, are both seasoned and highly capable performers who make the deadly confrontation between Tosca and the corrupt police chief Scarpia intense and believable.

	WeaverWeb: Field Notes of a Rookie Opera Lover
		It wasn't an altogether typical Wagner cast, but it was definitely an all-star lineup for this Die Walküre at the Met: Placido Domingo, Deborah Voigt, Hildegard Behrens and James Morris singing in a gala performance for the benefit of something or another, seats at the edge of the orchestra (like mine) selling for $150.
		Behrens heard some boos when she answered the final curtain.
		The music and story continue to speak to me; I was particularly aware of the poignancy of Wotan's predicament: unable to control events despite his great power, the father of the Gods captive to the sweep of events, bound by his own behavior (treaties, offspring, promises) to frustrate his own desires.

	Amazon.com: Great Recordings Of The Century - Strauss, R.: Salome / Karajan, Behrens, Van Dam, Baltsa, et al: Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Hildegard Behrens, relatively unknown at the time of the recording, sings the title role with appropriate "youthfulness" and fresh sensuality, like Catherine Malfitano, Teresa Stratas, and Inga Nielsen.
		Behrens somewhat surprises me as Salome is not the ideal role for her, but she pulls it off beautifully.
		Behrens herself is a wonderful singer, but she puts a distance between herself and Salome's lurid decadence.

		Behrens returned to Salzburg the following years to sing Leonore in Fidelio under Karajan and the title role of Ariadne auf Naxos under Karl Böhm, she made a triumphant "second" debut at the Met in 1978, again as Leonore under Karl Böhm.
		Behrens received tremendous acclaim for her portrayal of Isolde at the Metropolitan Opera.
		Hildegard Behrens continues to enthrall listeners with her strong personality, her fine psychological nuancing and her singing which, in the end, is simply and utterly beautiful.

	Tosca (1985) (TV) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Hildegard Behrens is likewise a bit stiff through most of the opera, though I think part of it, again, is just the necessary limitations of live performance.
		From the moment she whirls about and stabs Scarpia, Behrens is just blazing with fury and passion.
		She practically screams at him 'Questo e il baccio di Tosca!' and I almost thought she was going to lunge forward and stab him again.

		Hildegard Behrens, Matti Salminen, and (most important in this 1988 production's title role) Franz Grundheber were among the finest Wagnerian singers of the late 20th century, and all were in top vocal form on this occasion.
		I have other recordings with Hildegard Behrens and I must say, I have heard her better.
		Hildegard Behrens as Senta is also caught in her all-too-brief prime.

	Amazon.com: Wagner - Die Walkure / Levine, Behrens, Norman, Metropolitan Opera (Levine Ring Cycle Part 2): DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The ravishing music is not solely instrumental, of course; the principal cast--Gary Lakes (Siegmund), Jessye Norman (Sieglinde), Hildegard Behrens (Brünnhilde), and especially James Morris (Wotan)--more than handles the vocal and acting demands, even those long stretches of unbelievably difficult singing passages that Wagner demands.
		(and tell me if you agree that Norman's costume seems to come from another opera!) But Hildegard Behrens' Brunhilde makes us believe she is a vibrant teenager, although she has to strain to keep her voice from petering out during this difficult role.
		Hildegard Behrens (who I have also seen live many years ago) sings the role of Brunnhilde.

		Humiliated by his commanding officer (Heinz Zednik) whom he is forced to shave, Wozzeck is also experimented upon for less than clear reasons by the malevolent Doctor (Aage Haugland), who sees him as nothing more than a guinea pig who is available to urinate on command.
		In the crowning blow, his girlfriend Marie (Hildegard Behrens) brazenly flaunts her unfaithfulness with her sexual relationship with a Drum Major (Walter Raffener).
		Most of the cast is quite good, notably Behrens, who really brings the slatternly Marie to life in both her voice and her attitude.
