The luminous beauty of this rising star's soprano voice and impeccable coloratura technique have evoked enthusiastic comparisons with the great sopranos of an earlier day, while her thoroughly modern approach to the operatic tradition has won her international acclaim. A "major vocal find," according to the Chicago Tribune, Schäfer includes among her numerous honors 1997 Gramophone awards for Best Solo Vocal Recording and for Video of the Year for her performance in the title role of the Glyndebourne Festival Opera's production of Lulu. She makes her Bay Area recital debut at Cal Performances.

Program: Schubert/Lied der Anna Lyle, D 830; From das Fräulein vom See: “Ellens Gesang I: Raste, Krieger!,” D 837; “Ellens Gesang II Jäger, ruhe von der Jagd,” D. 838; “Ellens Gesang III: Ave Maria,” D 839; Crumb/Apparition; Schumann/Dichterliebe op 48
