Juliane Banse, Sopran
Following her operatic debut at the age of twenty as Pamina in Harry Kupfer’s production of Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) at the Komische Oper Berlin and other engagements at venues including Brussels, Salzburg, Vienna and Glyndebourne, Juliane Banse has been involved with numerous projects during subsequent years which have given her the opportunity to demonstrate the full extent of her artistic versatility. Her celebrated performance as the leading lady in the Zurich première of Heinz Holliger’s opera Schneewittchen (Snow White) was another unforgettable experience. At the Bayerischer Staatsoper where she is a regular guest performer, she shone as Ilia in Idomeneo conducted by Kent Nagano in the reopened Cuvilliés Theater.
