The American soprano Christine Goerke was born in New York in 1969 and studied at SUNY Stony Brook and on the Metropolitan Opera’s Young Artist Program, where she began her career in small roles such as Verdi’s High Priestess (Aida), Mozart’s Erste Dame (Die Zauberflöte), and Dritte Norn in Götterdämmerung. After fifteen years of singing Handel, Gluck and Mozart lyric coloratura roles, she re-trained as a dramatic soprano and is now widely acclaimed in roles such as Ortrud (Lohengrin), the Dyer’s Wife (Die Frau ohne Schatten), Brünnhilde and Turandot.

Goerke’s discography includes a Grammy-winning Britten War Requiem from 1999 with Robert Shafer, the Szymanowski and Dvořák Stabat Maters with Robert Shaw and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and a Richard Strauss gala with Christian Thielemann and the Staatskapelle Dresden (‘Goerke has emerged as a true dramatic soprano with solid pitch and a firm sense of line...Best of all, [hers] isn't a whistle-factory voice’ - Gramophone).
