My Top 5 Favorite Elisabeths

DISCLAIMER -- This is just my personal opinion. Please don't flame me. I just want to talk about how much I love these women. And yes, Pia isn't on here, but she gets an honorable mention.

Maya Hakvoort (2005 Vienna revival/proshot)

She's my first Sisi, so I probably would always have a soft spot for her. But I have to say, every time that I watch the 2005 proshot, she never fails to blow me away with her sheer talent. While I'm sure everyone points to her performance of "Ich gehör nur mir," I have to draw attention to her morbid curiosity and wonder in "Schwarzer Prinz," her release of regret and grief in "Totenklage," and her (honestly frightening) rage and determination in "Maladie." Even in songs where she's present but doesn't have any lines, such as "Der letzte Tanz," the emotions on her face are both as clear as day and a mystery. She knows the right time to be subtle and restrained, and the right time to let all of her emotions take control. Also, as a random note, I think she's like if Willemijn Verkaik and Lucy Lawless had a baby.

2. Willemijn Verkaik (2006 Thun)

I mean... it's Willemijn Verkaik. While Maya was my first Elisabeth that I watched in full, it was through Willemijn that I had first learned of the show back in 2016 (when I began to discover my love of musical theater in general). Of course, I only have the fourteen minutes of promotional material, and the production style is a mixed bag for me (I liked some of the costumes, such as her nightgown in "Ich gehör nur mir," but the cajones to redesign her coronation gown-- as well as some of the blocking), but it's still worth watching those fourteen minutes to see Willemijn's version of Sisi.

3. Mónika Sáfár (1996 Szeged)

Mónika is a very recent discovery and actually, my first Hungarian Sisi, but she is already a favorite of mine. She surprised me with how mature and classical her voice was, even when portraying a young Elisabeth, but it somehow works. The maturity of her voice doesn't detract from her intrepretation of Elisabeth's journey from free-spirited Bavarian princess to isolated empress to triumphant queen to lonely and bitter hermit.

4. Ock Joo-hyun (2012 Seoul)

Oh, God... where to start with her? She is able to portray both Elisabeth's desire for freedom beyond the house of Habsburg while carrying herself with an empress-like dignity. She has such a unique voice, that is classical in a way similar to Mónika, with the same depth of Maya Hakvoort's voice and the strength of Willemijn Verkaik.

5. Annemieke van Dam (2012 Vienna)

Now, I said in a previous post that Annemieke looks the most like Elisabeth (like, to an eerie extent), but that's not the only reason that she's here. She has the lightest voice of any Elisabeth that I've heard, but that doesn't mean it lacks in strength. She is able to hold her own through each song, whether it's a solo, a duet, or a group number. And her interpretation is the most unique that I've seen; she truly makes the role her own.

I’ve no idea why I did this but I felt like I SHOULD.

I am currently living in China, and I got a chance to see this iconic duo in the Rebecca concert performance. They are so cute and soft together I can’t.

In my opinion, Antonia is perfect for ‘Ich’. She has an open, dreamy, slightly naive gaze, a thin face similar to the original character’s, and does give an impression of a clumsy girl who’s head over heels in love with a mysterious well-off man.

And oh my god, she has such a gentle relationship with Annemieke (Mrs. Danvers). Their interactions make my heart melt uuuwuuu. The two of them are basically what keeps me going right now.

1. FINALLY GINO TOD OMG

I (and so many other ppl) have been asking for this for ages and I can't believe it's really happening!!!!!!!!!!!!

2. Omg the people who said that Annemieke was the only main Vienna Elisabeth missing and that she should/could do the concert next... were right 😁😁😁😁 Interested to see her portrayal! (Also PLEASE I hope this means they won't split the role anymore, since Annemieke is not even ten years older than Abla...)

Am I the only one who has noticed how closely Annemieke van Dam resembles the real Elisabeth?

I mean, it's almost eerie.
