As for the other singers, the two Mexicans, Enrique Ambrosio as Ricardo, and Monica Chavez as Amelia, brought some Latin American passion to their parts, while Anastassia Bibicheva as Ulrica displayed a powerful voice with plenty of thrust.

Combining his love for equestrianism and opera, he also made possible the Disabled Rider Championships at Thann later this month (18-19 August 2007), an event where the well-known coloratura soprano Elke Maria Slawitschek will perform an exclusive Aria interlude and Baumann and von Kerssenbrock will both be present.
