Flolock through the eyes of Minde:

With oceaneyhl's comments about a changed Flolock, I can't help but to give an opinion about him as someone who saw Flolock for the first time just a couple of weeks back.

All in all I loved Florian Soyka's portrayal of our beloved Graf von Krolock. I was overly excited to finally get the chance to see him and since he is so great in the ensemble, I had the impression that there was no way he could be a bad von Krolock. He could be someone I didn't like, but by no means would he be bad. It turned out that even though Flolock wasn't the kind of von Krolock I was looking for, he was certainly something I wouldn't mind seeing again if I was given the chance - much like Robert D. Marx was in Vienna for me. In short: his Krolock is someone I don't mind seeing, but I won't go the distance just to see him in the role.

The impression I got out of Flolock was very classical, very much like Steve Barton with a little bit less angst and overflowing emotion. Soyka's Krolock was elegant, aristocratic (not in the same prideful way like Thomas Borchert von Krolock, mind you) and strong, very strong. I seemed to me that Flolock didn't have that many weak moments and when he did, all the emotions burst out as rage instead of sorrow. To my eyes, Flolock had already given up and continued living just because he didn't have any other choice - however he was not suicidial. I saw a tired and mostly bored vampire count who just looked at everything with one thought in mind: why do I even bother?

Soyka's voice is beautiful, velvety and strong. When he first started to sing Gott ist tot, my jaw almost fell to the floor as I was so surprised at how pleasant his voice could be. Once again his singing and the tone of his voice brought me to think of Steve Barton and even though Steve really isn't my favourite by any means these days, Soyka impressed me.

To give some critique - mostly because no one is perfect and there is always something you would like to see done differently - I have to say that at times I got the impression that Florian was focusing more on the actual singing instead of acting. There were times when I thought that I would get the same amount of information about the performance if I just closed my eyes and listened. Actually I really wanted to close my eyes just to give my full attention to his singing, but I didn't go so far because this was going to be the one and only chance to see what Florian does on stage and I didn't want to miss anything. To go even further, I have to admit that there were even moments during Finale 1. Akt and Gier when I wanted to shout to Soyka: "Oh for Christ's sake just do something, please. A hand gesture, a facial expression, anything!"

To summarize: Florian Soyka is a good Krolock and I wouldn't complain if I were to see him again, but I wouldn't go to Berlin just to see him. Everyone should probably see him once, though. His voice is strong and reminds me of Steve Barton and so does his elegant portrayal - even though at times I wished he would've done a little bit more on stage. He is not my type of von Krolock, since I tend to like the more edgy ones (Drew, Gábor and even Thomas - note that Géza isn't on the list since he is more classical than edgy, but he is one of my favourites nonetheless), but I still enjoyed his performance.

This bitter man he is Throughout his life the same He's battled constantly This fight he cannot win A tired man they see no longer cares The old man then prepares To die regretfully That old man here is me

here in transylvania we have no such things as personal space

A wild Flolock appears!

Is it just me or does it look like that wig doesn't fit him very well
