J.S.BACH JOHANNES-PASSION (Bremen “Glocke”/ Delmenhorst St.Marien (Bremer RathsChor, conducted by W.Hellbich

Soprano Gesa Hoppe endowed her first aria ("Ich folge dir gleichfalls..") with an immensely tender and soulful sound.
She filled „Zerfließe mein Herz" with entrancing human sadness, intermingled with a certain bewilderedness at the inconceivable fact of Jesus´ death on the line "Dein Jesu ist tot, tot, tot..".
All things considered, her performance perfectly exemplifies this evening´s sophisticated, varied, colourful and thoroughly thrilling rendition of St. John´s Passion.

DIE LUSTIGE WITWE Stadttheater Giessen 2010/2011

Beautiful, dark-haired and sexy – that´s Gesa Hoppe as the fabulously rich widow, surrounded by a host of suitors. With seemingly effortless ease her voice soars into the upper ranges, enchanting the audience in the famous „Vilja“-song with moments of velvet subtlety. Her charming and expressive vocal performance is set off beautifully against an amorous pas-de- deux of the Tanzcompagnie on stage.

Her sensitive rendition of the „Vilja“-song was the most beautiful moment of the evening.
