Soprano Annija Kristiāna Ādamsone Steals the Limelight as Olympia
.. but it was Annija Kristiāna Ādamsone who stood out with a breathtaking performance as Olympia. She possesses a wonderfully agile voice, which she employs with absolute precision and is able to thrill the audience with her stunning coloratura and her ability to pop out pitch perfect notes as she glides freely across the line. There is no sign of stress or anxiety in the voice whatsoever. Her voice has a freshness, purity and beauty, which she showed off to good effect in the aria “Les oiseaux dans la charmille,” which received the biggest ovation of the evening. She also proved herself to be a skilled actress ..”.. there were some fine singing performances, especially from Annija Kristiāna Ādamsone, whose Olympia will live long in the memory.”
An invitation to a real Alice's wonderland, or the opera "The Tales of Hoffmann"
The young soprano Annija Kristiāna Ādamsone, in the role of Olympia, has already become the unsurpassed star of "The Tales of Hoffmann" with her impeccably pure intonation and truly fantastic performance in the first act of the opera.”Adamsone's technically sound, pure, almost angelic singing contrasts so sharply with her biorobot costume - bloody gauze coils and surgical metal tourniquets - that the comic effect is tripled.”Adamsone is a surprise worth recording for the future and a beautiful succession.”

“Yorgos Lanthimos’s Poor Things has rapidly come to define 21st-century perspectives on 19th-century stories of male wish-fulfilment, and Annija Kristiāna Ādamsone channelled her inner Bella Baxter as Olympia, while pinging out her coloratura with both striking accuracy and volume.”
“Adamsone has a perfect symbiosis of external, vocal and artistic qualities, a rare trinity, unattainable for most opera singers. The main musical impression from this production - it is Annija Kristiāna Ādamsone as Olympia. This is her first appearance in a significant role on our [LNOB] stage and it is difficult to recall such bright debuts.”
