MEZZO SOPRANO
Alcina (Handel) - Theater Freiburg
Director: Pia Partum; Conductor: André de Ridder
'Lila Chrisp sings the blond Ruggiero, beloved by Alcina, with very attractive mezzo-soprano agility and expressive intensity'
(Johannes Adam, Badische Zeitung)
The Queen of Spades (Tchaikovsky) - Theater Freiburg
Director: Peter Carp; Conductor: Ektoras Tartanis

p r i s m (Ellen Reid) - Theater Freiburg
Director: Sebastian Kraus; Conductor: Friederike Scheunchen
'Lila Chrisp embodies this present, guilt-ridden, overly affectionate mother with every fiber of her being. Her [...] melodic lines radiate intensely. And when she unleashes a cascade of curses and insults, as in the second act, she reveals the other side of this self-centered woman.'
(Georg Rüdiger, Badische Zeitung)
'In Freiburg, two powerful young singers, Cassandra Wright (Bibi) and Lila Chrisp (Lumee), are on stage, surrendering themselves [...] to the claustrophobic relationship of dependency'

'No, Bobby isn't getting married. But Amy is. Played by the new audience favorite—and I also out myself as a fan—mezzo-soprano Lila Chrisp. Her vocal and comedic talent is outstanding. She wears the white dress and veil, is supposed to get married, and then changes her mind. Funny and tragic and thrilling: all at once. The visit was worth it for this part alone.'
(Chris Libuda, SWR)
'In 'Getting Married Today,' fine musical schmaltz [...] meets a ridiculously fast-sung commentary, which Lila Chrisp (Amy) sings in a wonderfully dirty way. [...] And Lila Chrisp even manages to flip comedy into tragedy at the end.'
(Georg Rüdiger, Badische Zeitung)
Hänsel und Gretel - Theater Freiburg
Director: Kateryna Sokolova; Conductor: André de Ridder

'Musically and dramatically brilliant in every second: Lila Chrisp'
(Georg Rüdiger, neue musikzeitung)
'This opened up a nice variation on the notorious alienation effect when, before a wonderful solo by the policeman's daughter Lucie, a warning is given about the high notes of mezzo-soprano Lila Chrisp, who, with this and her British humor, wins the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor from the audience.'
(Jürgen Reuß, Nachtkritik)
'the highly comedically gifted Lila Chrisp'
(René Zipperlen, Badische Zeitung)
Rusalka - Theater Freiburg
Director: Kateryna Sokolova; Conductor: Ektoras Tartanis
'The intonationally and sonically captivating elf trio (Janina Staub, Lila Chrisp, Alina Kirchgäßner)'
(Alexander Dick, Badische Zeitung)
'The three elves, beautifully sung by Janina Straub, Lila Chrisp, and Alina Kirchgäßner, are enchanting revenants.'
(Bernd Künzig, SWR)
