Katharina Konradi

"Konradi’s timbre has a delicate fragrance, the voice seems weightless and light as a feather." Opernwelt 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, she has performed at leading opera houses such as the Bayerische Staatsoper, Wiener Staatsoper, and Opernhaus Zürich, recitals at Wigmore Hall and Konzerthaus Wien, and concerts with the Berlin and Munich Philharmonic, among many others.
An acclaimed recording artist, she is featured on over a dozen recordings. Her first recording for CAvi-music was Liebe (Love) with Lieder by Schubert, Mozart and R. Strauss. She frequently collaborates with Daniel Heide, both on recordings and in performances.
