In previous seasons, Galina made her milestone debut at The Metropolitan Opera as Lisa The Queen of Spades, as well as her debut at Bayerische Staatsoper as Violetta La traviata. She subsequently returned to Bayerische Staatsoper as Violetta and Mimì La bohème, made her house debut at Semperoper Dresden as Micaëla in Carmen, and made her role and house debuts as Francesca in Rachmaninoff’s Francesca da Rimini with the Berliner Philharmoniker under Kirill Petrenko, as well as her debut as soprano soloist in Britten’s War Requiem with the Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra.
She gave a performance that I felt lucky to witness. Cheplakova is agile and graceful as a singer and actress, with impressive technical control over her gorgeous instrument. …. Her voice — silvery and piercing at the top of her register, plummy and sweet at the bottom — is sumptuous
A silvery, easily produced soprano and sharp dramatic instincts… Vocally, it was a pleasure to hear a singer with a sweet-toned, shimmering voice essay this music. Cheplakova demonstrated great vocal agility and never seemed to push for volume, with impressive amplitude even when singing pianissimo
