Reviews
"On the following evening, the Tatiana was the young soprano Ekaterina Shcherbachenko, who was by far the most interesting singer in the second cast, both in vocal and stage terms. This young soprano rose to fame last year by winning the Cardiff Singer of the World contest , although her CV in the program does not mention it among her prizes. She cuts a very attractive figure and boasts an appealing soprano....What a wonderful Iolanta she could be! "
Seen and Heard International, José M Irurzun
"Ekaterina Scherbachenko campe une princesse d’une douceur tourmentée et déploie un lyrisme intense grâce à un phrasé élégant, à des aigus naturels et un vibrato remarquable. Un succès éclatant."
Concertonet by Santiago Martin Bermudez
"Nel ruolo di Iolanta, la giovane Ekaterina Scherbachenko è stata altrettanto brillante. La sua voce si adattava perfettamente alla musica di Cajkovskij. La Scherbachenko è stata anche una interprete scenicamente credibile, coinvolgente nello suo passaggio dal suo mondo di non vedente al ritorno alla vista, alla luce."
GB Opera by Mercedes Rodriguez
"Scherbachenko ist die große Gewinnerin des Abends und mit ihr die spektakulären Bilderwelten auf der Bühne."
