"Laura Nykänen used the beauty of the Waltraute's scene to create a goose bumps provocative standstill scene, a highlight of the evening with full-flowing breath and emotionally set accents."

​

"The Finnish Laura Nykänen sang Waltraute with distinction, her characterization is less hysterical than others, but also that makes her more credible and spontaneous, and she also has a good voice."
