Biography
Soprano Katharina Konradi was born in Bishkek and is the first soprano from Kyrgyzstan to have an international career as a Lied, concert and opera singer. Her “crystal-clear” voice and “dazzling vocal technique,” (Backtrack) has a “fascinating palette of colour shades,” (Das Opernglas) which she employs for roles such as Sophie (Der Rosenkavalier), Gilda (Rigoletto) and Susanna (Le Nozze di Figaro), and on the concert and recital stage. Her love of singing developed in childhood, and her move to Germany with her family at age 15 – and subsequent German citizenship – nurtured her love of classical music. Balancing her time between opera, Liederabend and concert work, recent engagements include performances at the Bayerische Staastoper, Wiener Staatsoper, and Opernhaus Zürich, recitals at Wigmore Hall and Konzerthaus Wien, and concerts with the Berlin Philharmonic, and Munich Philharmonic.
Konradi’s opera appearances in her 2024/25 season include Oscar in Verdi’s Un ballo in maschera at Opernhaus Zürich, a return to the Bayerische Staastoper for Adèle (Die Fledermaus), her debut as Gilda in Verdi’s Rigoletto, a return to one of her signature roles, Susanna (Le Nozze di Figaro), at the Staatsoper Hamburg, and a return the Bayreuth Festival as Woglinde (Das Rheingold and Götterdämmerung).
On the concert stage, appearances include Beethoven’s 9th Symphony, marking her debut with the Berlin Philharmonic, conducted by Kirill Petrenko at the Festspiel Baden-Baden, Fauré’s Requiem in Paris, Bruckner’s Mass in F minor in Munich and St. Florian conducted by Thomas Hengelbrock, a European tour of Mozart’s Requiem, and concerts of one of her favourite pieces, Mozart’s Mass in C minor, at the Elbphilharmonie, and in Switzerland.
