“The singing of the incomparable Sunhae Im, whose voice leaps into the sky as if there were neither war nor sorrow in the world, always prevails.”  (Jan Brachmann : FAZ Frankfurter Allegemeine Zeitung)

This is just one of the enthusiastic reviews of Sunhae Im’s performance in Telemann’s opera “Sieg der Schoenheit (The Triumph of Beauty)”.  She worked with Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin, conducted by Michael Hofstetter, and many wonderful colleagues for this production at Theater Magdeburg. There were 5 live performances and additional recording sessions between March and June 2024.
