Nina Stemme, soprano
Magnus Svensson, piano

A rare opportunity to experience Nina Stemme’s extraordinary voice in recital! Noted for her brilliant performances as Turandot, Salome, Elektra, and a range of Wagnerian heroines, the Swedish dramatic soprano is considered one of the greatest, most magnetic singers in opera today, renowned for delivering “an uncanny combination of grace and nerve, sumptuousness and steel” (Opera News) in her unforgettable appearances. Stemme was recently a recipient of the coveted Birgit Nilsson Prize, the second singer and the only woman to be so honored. She sings a program of Wagner, Mahler, and Weill plus a selection of songs by Swedish composer Sigurd von Koch, accompanied by her frequent recital partner, pianist Magnus Svensson.
