About

'Mozart, You Drive Me Crazy!' This is the title that the South African soprano Golda Schultz has decided to give to her new album, devoted to the female heroines of Don Giovanni, Cosi fan tutte and Le nozze di Figaro, roles that have marked her career from Berlin to The Metropolitan Opera: 'Why does Mozart drive me crazy? First of all, because his music, which sounds so easy when you listen to it, is extremely difficult to perform . . . And when I immerse myself in the world of Da Ponte and Mozart, I realise that there's a deep complexity to their female characters: they endure the toughest trials, but they also display great strength. In fact, these operas explore humanity from the feminine perspective: every single one of these women is constantly evolving. They show how human beings transcend trauma and how grief and pain can be overcome.' The programme is conducted by another eminent Mozartian, Antonello Manacorda, with the Kammerakademie Potsdam.

  • Golda Schultz on Mozart's Women

    27th Jun 2024by Katherine Cooper

    The South African soprano (who is currently singing Fiordiligi at Covent Garden) discusses her new Mozart album on Alpha Classics, why the three Da Ponte operas feel 'more relevant than ever' today, and the role which 'changed her as a person' - even though she never wants to sing it again...

She is a classy Mozartian and imbues each of her arias with character, pathos and purity of line. Her timbre is velvety, but there’s plenty of attack in fearsomely taxing arias such as Anna’s ‘Or sai chi l’onore’ and Fiordiligi’s ‘Come scoglio’.

27th April 2024

spirited, thoughtful performances...More than a nice set of highlights, this album makes you think.

10th April 2024

Whether she’s Susanna, Fiordiligi or Donna Elvira, Schultz’s characterful voice glides and bubbles through its various quirks.
