We met Mónika Fischl, the prima donna of the Budapest Operetta Theater, on a July evening. We already had a peek into the registered material when we were talking about the Queen of the Night. So far, the opera genre has only appeared as a side track in Móni’s career. However, I am convinced that after a successful Traviata and Gilda, the Melinda in Bánk Bán will be a role in which her vocality can be presented in all its beauty, and I am confident that tonight’s premiere can be an overture towards many more opera roles.
