As Opera News wrote of exceptional German soprano Diana Damrau: “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. It’s impossible to know whether Diana Damrau was born great, but she has – without question – achieved greatness; Damrau has firm technical command, unaffected mastery of characterization and beauty of tone … More, please.” After two critically acclaimed Virgin Classics releases of 18th-century repertoire, Diana Damrau is set to release her highly-anticipated album COLORaturaS.
With the support from the Münchner Rundfunkorchester conducted by Dan Ettinger, Damrau is showcased in a repertoire that ranges from Rossini and Verdi to Stravinsky and Bernstein, from comedy to tragedy and covers four languages: German, Italian, French and English. It includes Zerbinetta’s marathon coloaratura aria from Ariadne auf Naxos, one of the operas which spearheaded Damrau’s international career.
