Mezzo-soprano Tone Kummervold is commanding in the role of Baba the Turk, the opera’s vocal and theatrical firework.

Kummervold has complete mastery over Baba’s hysterical fits of rage and owns the stage in the most absurdly amusing dance number I can recall seeing at Kirsten Flagstads plass 1.

  • A similar strength is found in her only solace—if there is any: Varvara, the devilishly wicked mother-in-law’s foster daughter—a glimmer (brilliantly and purely interpreted by Tone Kummervold) in this pitch-black darkness.

Tone Kummervold’s girlish Varvara was a ray of light in a sea of darkness, providing the joy and optimism no other characters could muster. The role was also very well suited to her luxuriantly plummy lower and middle registers. Aksel Tollåli

As La Morte, Norwegian mezzo Tone Kummervold was a near-constant spectral presence onstage, but had to wait until the final scene for a substantial solo, which she delivered with clarity and authority.
