Diana Damrau / NDR Radiophilharmonie / Höfs / Capuano

Divine moments

»When I go to the opera, I want to see the whole truth. I want the music to really touch the audience’s hearts and produce a reaction in them.« This is how Diana Damrau sees her role as a singer, and she describes herself as »a medium for divine moments«. The star soprano, who worked her way up to the top with a pleasant lack of pretentiousness, can be authentically experienced in the major opera roles of powerful women on the brink of madness, as well as in recitals of tender, romantic love songs – or with a festive and reflective Christmas programme. In all these settings, Diana Damrau inspires her public with an impressive stage presence and an intuitive feeling for music, not to mention her virtuoso singing.
