Boston Conservatory at Berklee and Boston Lyric Opera are thrilled to welcome Christine Goerke to lead a master class with Boston Conservatory at Berklee students and Boston Lyric Opera’s Jane and Steven Akin Emerging Artists as part of the Opera Innovators Series.
Soprano Christine Goerke has appeared in the major opera houses of the world, including The Metropolitan Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago, San Francisco Opera, Santa Fe Opera, Washington National Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Seattle Opera, Opera Company of Philadelphia, Pittsburgh Opera, New York City Opera, Glimmerglass Opera, Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Paris Opera, Théâtre du Châtelet, Théâtre du Capitole in Toulouse, Deutsche Oper Berlin, La Scala, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Teatro Real in Madrid, Teatro Municipal de Santiago, and the Saito Kinen Festival Matsumoto.
She has sung much of the great soprano repertoire, starting with Mozart and Handel heroines and now earning critical acclaim for dramatic Strauss and Wagner roles. She has received praise for her portrayals of the title roles in Elektra, Turandot, and Ariadne auf Naxos; Brünnhilde in the Ring Cycle; Kundry in Parsifal; Ortrud in Lohengrin; Leonora in Fidelio; Eboli in Don Carlos; The Dyer’s Wife in Die Frau ohne Schatten; Cassandre in Les Troyens; Ellen Orford in Peter Grimes; Female Chorus in The Rape of Lucretia; Alice in Falstaff; Madame Lidoine in Dialogues des Carmélites — and more.
This season, Ms. Goerke returns to the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Philharmonic, and Washington National Opera; and also performs with Hamburg State Opera, New World Symphony, and Minnesota Orchestra. She recently joined Boston Lyric Opera’s Board of Directors, having previously served as Associate Artistic Director at the Detroit Opera.
Christine Goerke is presented as part of Boston Conservatory at Berklee’s Innovators Series in partnership with Boston Lyric Opera.
