Diana Damrau has been called the “leading coloratura soprano in the world.” She continues to amaze audiences with her unique voice and arresting stage presence. Damrau was awarded the title Bayerische Kammersängerin in 2007 and named “Best Female Singer” at the 2014 International Opera Awards. Program to include works by Debussy, Smetana, Richard Strauss, Reynaldo Hahn, Chausson, Fauré, Duparc and Eva Dall’Acqua.

“How much personality, how much dramatic fire, can you fit into the narrow dynamic range between pianissimo and mezzo piano—between really quiet and pretty quiet—and still project to the last row of the 2,800-seat Stern Auditorium? A great deal, as it turns out.” —NEW YORK TIMES

“Rejecting diva poses and melodramatic manners, Damrau offered an afternoon of uninhibited aesthetic revelations. Some stars use the concert platform to demonstrate familiar skills … Not this star.”—FINANCIAL TIMES
