Deborah Voigt, soprano

Sun, Nov 20, '05, 3 pm

Venue: Zellerbach Hall B

Price: $36/$48/$68

Acknowledged internationally as the preeminent dramatic soprano of her generation, Deborah Voigt is one of those rare artists for whom critical praise seems utterly superfluous. She is widely considered the finest living interpreter of the dramatic heroines of Wagner and Richard Strauss, and her appearances in the world's great opera houses immediately become "events" among the musical cognoscenti. Such fame, however, can create a clamor that disguises a more profound truth—one that is best revealed by the voice itself, heard in the purity of a simple vocal recital. Be a part of the Cal Performances audience for an unforgettable afternoon, a rare solo appearance with one of the great vocal artists of our time.
