Every time she appears on stage, Jennifer O'Loughlin triggers stormy reactions of enthusiasm in the audience and rave reviews. Here's another review, about her Sonnambula at the close of last season:

„The role of Sonnambula is a quintessential role for every lyric coloratura soprano, and Jennifer O‘Loughlin has embodied the role like few other sopranos. She shines with breathtaking coloratura and dramatic top notes that are clean and clear even at a glass-breaking height, only to plunge back into an enchanting piano. Her great prayer and the aria "Ah! se una volta solo… Gran Dio… Non credea mirarti", in which she forgives Elvino while sleep walking in the second act, can hardly be surpassed in terms of beauty and emotional depth. The sleepwalker‘s acting performance is also stupendous. Superlatives and comparisons with the great singers in the field don’t really serve a purpose. But after this performance, it simply has to be said. The great Edita Gruberova has been described as the „high priestess of belcanto“, and O‘Loughlin is the „queen of belcanto“ on this evening, to be mentioned in the same breath as Gruberova. The audience not only cheered after her arias, but also figuratively jumped up from their seats to lay at her feet for her first solo curtain call - something that is rarely seen today. A triumphant success for the likable American, who has been able to call herself a Bavarian Kammersängerin since 2021“ (Andreas H. Hölscher, O-Ton, 03.07.24)

This season Jennifer O’Loughlin will be performing Alcina (title role), Rosalinde (Die Fledermaus), Donna Anna (Don Giovanni) and Adina (L’elisir d’amore) at the Gärtnerplatztheater.

After performing at the Gärtnerplatztheater (Munich) in recent weeks Contessa (Le nozze di Figaro), Leila (Les pêcheurs de perles) and Frau Fluth (Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor), Jennifer O'Loughlin will soon be appearing in the title role in the revival of La sonnambula at her home theatre.

Below are some press extracts about Jennifer's performance in the new production of Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor (Frau Fluth) at the Gärtnerplatztheater:

“Jennifer O'Loughlin is a delight as Frau Fluth, impressing with masterfully executed coloratura and a pure, simply beautiful belcanto timbre in all tonal and emotional registers.” (Das Opernmagazin, Adele Bernhard, 03.05.24)

„The fact that the performance doesn't just breeze along but still turns into a great evening is once again down to the superb ensemble of the Gärtnerplatztheater, above all Jennifer O'Loughlin as Frau Fluth. Vocally ideally cast, with sparkling coloratura, powerful dynamics in the high notes and strong dramatic outbursts, she dominates the action both vocally and theatrically. Bold and cheeky, she pulls the strings, spins intrigues against Falstaff and her husband and has a charisma that is almost overwhelming. No one stands a chance against this woman.” (O-Ton, Andreas H. Hölscher, 27.04.24)

“Jennifer O'Loughlin as Frau Fluth lets her ideas fly through the Gärtnerplatztheater with a rapidly vibrating, concentratedly twittering soprano voice”. (Süddeutsche Zeitung, Paul Schäufele, 28.04.24)

“Jennifer O'Loughlin as Frau Fluth seems to climb ever higher with every coloratura: up to an electrifying high E.” (Abendzeitung, Michael Bastian Weiß, 29.04.24)

“Jennifer O'Loughlin plays a high-spirited, temperamental Frau Fluth.” (Merkur.de, Markus Thiel, 27.04.24)

“Jennifer O'Loughlin, a resolute Frau Fluth with wonderful mousse-like coloratura and luminous top notes.” (Bühne, Klaus Kalchschmid, 29.04.24)
