She was aclaimed by the audience and critics during the major role of her career, singing Cybèle : «Mezzo-soprano Anna Reinhold, by turns seductive and violent, makes Cybele the true centerpiece of the opera. Her haunting fnal aria of grief shows her a solitary fgure left to reflect on the destruction her passion has caused».
