Christina Landshamer

Christina Landshamer first sang in opera in Stuttgart, Strasbourg and Berlin (Komische Oper). At Vienna’s Theater an der Wien she sang the part of Clarice in Haydn’s Il mondo della luna under Nikolaus Harnoncourt, and the role of Frasquita in Carmen at the Salzburg Festival with the Berlin Philharmonic under Simon Rattle. Towards the end of 2012, she made her highly-acclaimed debut as Pamina in Simon McBurney‘s celebrated new production of Mozart’s The Magic Flute at the Amsterdam Opera under Marc Albrecht. In 2015, she starred under Christian Thielemann as Ännchen in the anniversary production of Weber’s Der Freischütz and alongside Anna Netrebko at Dresden’s New Year’s Concert. Landshamer made her debut in Glyndebourne as Almirena in Rinaldo and in 2015 as Pamina at the Bavarian State Opera. After appearing in Der Rosenkavalier in Chicago, she can be heard as Susanna in a new production of Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro at the Theater St Gallen in Switzerland.

With her warm, lyrical voice, the soprano is an ideal recital singer. Her first CD, on which she is accompanied by Gerold Huber, appeared in summer 2016 on the Oehms Classic label where the duo combined unique songs from Robert Schumann and Viktor Ullmann. They can also be experienced live together in recitals in Freiburg, Regensburg, at the Schubertiade in Schwarzenberg, and at London’s Wigmore Hall.

Landshamer can already look back on an extensive discography, including Haydn’s oratorios The Seasons and The Creation under Philippe Herreweghe (PHI), Bizet’s Carmen under Simon Rattle (CD and DVD on EMI Classics), and Bach’s St Matthew Passion under Riccardo Chailly (Decca). Moreover, her musical versatility can also be enjoyed on various DVDs: in Haydn’s Il mondo della luna (Concentus musicus/Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Unitel Classica), in Bach’s St. Matthew Passion and Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 (both Leipzig Gewandhausorchester /Riccardo Chailly, Accentus), and Mozart’s The Magic Flute (Nederlandse Opera – Opus Arte).
