Edyta Kulczak, mezzosoprano

Camille Saint-Saëns Samson and Delilah Delilah Wrocław Opera, 2008
"With great delight Polish audiences made the discovery of a new Polish star, mezzo soprano Edyta Kulczak who arrived directly from New York where hs performs with the Metropolitan Opera. Kulczak performed the part of Delilah with aplomb.

It is astonishing that Ms. Kulczak, a graduate of the class of professor Szostek Radkowa of Warsaw Music Academy, isn’t being mentioned together with Beczala, Kwiecien, Kurzak and Dober, all internationally accomplished artists.

On the Wrocław Opera stage, Kulczak, with her magnificent voice, not only dominated an orchestra of 100 musicians and a large choir, but also created a convincing character of a cruel seductress.
"Our Delilah" Boguslaw Tumilowicz, Weekly Review, April, 2009 "When we heard the aria "Mon coeur s'ouvre a ta voix" it all became clear - it was Delilah. Edyta Kulczak will drive every Samson to betrayal; she is beautiful, blessed with a full, tender mezzo soprano. Resplendent in her magnificent costume, she shone on the Wrocław stage." Anita Tyszkowska "Wrocławianin"
