The performance history of German operas in the latter half of the 20th century cannot be told without the name of Waltraud Meier. She has arguably been one of the best Isoldes, Sieglindes and Kundrys beyond the vocal range of a mezzo-soprano.
Joined by baritone Samuel Hasselhorn, a rising star, and pianist Joseph Breinl, a long-time friend of hers, Meier will sing gems of the German lied.
It will be an unforgettable soirée not to be missed.
