Mozart and Lied as clean-up for voice and soul

Kristiane Kaiser is by far not the only singer who returns intentionally to Mozartian roles on opera -stage and to singing Lied-repertory again and again. One of her greatest heroes, Lisa della Casa, called Mozart and the Lied-repertory the clean-up for voice and soul. The Countess in Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro has been a key-role within the soprano's repertory for a considerable time. Joining this season's performance series of the Vienna Volksoper she will be singing this role again on February 28th, March 6th and 21st, 2015. With the role of her unfaithful husband Mathias Hausmann is again her opponent, Yasushi Hirano (as Figaro) will get married to Julia Koci (Susanna) under Alfred Eschwé's competent conducting.

On Sunday, March 15th Kristiane Kaiser will give a recital with Lieder from the late romantic era singing music by Johannes Brahms, Richard Strauss and Richard Wagner. Felix Lemke, the second dean of studies at the Volksoper, recognized conductor and accompanist, will be joining Kristiane Kaiser at this concert. You can find a Lied-rarity performed by the artist among her audio-clips. Link
