Tanja Ariane Baumgartner is one of the leading mezzo-sopranos of our time. With her role portraits of Kundry (Parsifal), Fricka (Rheingold/ Walküre), her brilliant Cassandre (Les Troyens), her Clytemnestra (Elektra) and Nurse (Die Frau ohne Schatten) and her spectacular Ortrud (Lohengrin), she has sung herself to the forefront of the dramatic mezzo-sopranos at the most important international houses and festivals.
”Tanja Ariane Baumgartner is Frankfurt's 'secret weapon when it comes to dramatic mezzo roles, her princess of Bouillon in 'Adriana Lecouvreur' was unforgettable, a dazzling figure whose extremely appealing voice, in all registers, draws the listener increasingly under the spell of this demonic role.”
