Regarding her milestone performance Hui He said, “Tosca is one of the roles I carry in my heart, it is the role that opened doors for me at the most important international opera houses and thanks to which I have unforgettable memories, from my debut in Parma, where I had the opportunity to study the role with Raina Kabaivanska to my debut at La Scala with Maestro Lorin Maazel (who invited me to sing it with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra), up to these performances at the Hamburg Staatsoper, a wonderful theatre, with an attentive and passionate audience, where I am happy to share my 100th Tosca performance. I will give my best for the audience, giving as always my heart to this magnificent creature, to which I hope to give my soul and my voice for many, many more performances.
