Konradi’s timbre has a delicate fragrance, the voice seems weightless and light as a feather.
Opernwelt
Whether in opera, operetta or lied, Katharina Konradi is a storyteller who imbues her characters
with verve, intimacy, temperament and intensity. Her full and warm soprano, praised by Opernglas
for its wonderfully agile, fascinating palette of nuances, captivates audiences and critics alike with
its great radiance and cultivated emotionality. My aim is to rediscover myself in every opera and in
every song, to lend my own ego to the role and become one with the character I portray, is how the
singer describes herself.
In the season 2023/24 Katharina Konradi will make guest appearances at the Royal Opera House
Covent Garden, London, as Woglinde in Wagner’s Das Rheingold and as Susanna in Mozart’s Le
nozze di Figaro at the Vienna State Opera. At the Bavarian State Opera she will be seen as Adele in
Strauss’s Die Fledermaus and at Zurich Opera House in the role of Valencienne in Lehár’s The Merry
Widow.
At Hamburg Opera, where she performs regularly, she sings Servilia in Mozart’s La clemenza
di Tito and makes her role debut as Adina in L’elisir d’amore. Lied recitals will again take Katharina
Konradi to the Wigmore Hall London and to the Schubertiade Hohenems / Schwarzenberg, as well as to
the Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid, to the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona, to the Festival
de Granada, to Weimar and to the Schubertiada in Vilabertran.
