“Wondrous, Dazzling”
Grammy Award-Winning Soprano Hilá Plitmann Joins Dworkin & Company Roster
Dworkin & Company welcomes celebrated soprano, songwriter, and actress Hilá Plitmann to its roster. She brings a fresh perspective to traditional works, as well as a zealous imagination, impeccable artistry, and unbridled joy to boundary-pushing projects in all genres, from contemporary classical to world music, pop, jazz, and film.
Opera News on A Standing Witness; “the provocative new song cycle for mezzo-soprano and chamber ensemble, with music by Richard Danielpour and poems by Rita Dove. Written for the luminous Susan Graham, who gave the Washington premiere at the Kennedy Center and the excellent group Music from Copland House…songs America…needs to hear.”

“Slatkin deserves kudos for bringing it back in its uncut length for its first performance in decades. Equal praise is owed to the soprano Hila Plitmann for pulling off a work that has her onstage, alternately speaking, singing at stratospheric heights and screaming into a bullhorn for more than an hour. She has a wonderful speaking voice, sings like an angel (Del Tredici’s arias are like hyper bel canto; his main theme echoes an ornament from “Caro ome” in Verdi’s “Rigoletto”) and squeals like a guinea pig when the text compels her to do so.”
“Plitmann is soft and seductive as she tells of music’s power to “unravel the clouds… moments later, she snaps into a maniacal presence, leaping up to a high B…the soprano relishes Benjamin’s colorful word-painting.”
