Siegfried

"The quality of Keegan's voice is the sheer musicality of her voice which floats effortlessly over the orchestra. Keegan uses her finely honed vocal expression to create an entire performance with very little facial or physical movement."

Humphrey McQueen
"Liane Keegan as Klytemnestra, sings and acts very impressively. Everyone was filled with poison as the composer wished. The role must be sung, not shouted. Hagen will not hear better bel canto singing than this."
Das Orchester
Matthias Norquet
"Liane Keegan in the grand role of Klytemnestra. The ringing, beautiful, even voice is rich and deep, without artificially making the voice dark. Equally impressive was the height in the voice, full toned without constriction and with great ease."
