Aachen-born soprano Cathrin Lange, praised by the press for her "crystal-clear voice", her "sparkling coloratura and radiant high notes" as well as for her "dramatic talent and intense acting", has developed into one of the most interesting and exciting singers in opera, concert and oratorio singing in recent years.
In the 2023/24 season, Cathrin Lange will sing the title role in the revival of La Traviata at the Staatstheater Darmstadt and Blonde in Die Entführung aus dem Serail at the Theater Bonn.
