Christine Goerke
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.
