Dorothea Röschmann

about

The German soprano, Dorothea Röschmann (born in 1967), sang in the Fleinsburg Bach choir when she was seven yeas old. She started to study singing in 1979. Vocal training included studies with Angela Giblin, Sigrid Wagner, Annie Schoonus at the Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Hamburg, Barbara Schlick at the Akademie für Alte Musik in Bremen, Natalie Zimonick in Los Angeles and Thomas LoMonaco in New York. Since 1992 she has continued her studies with Vera Rosza in London. Dorothea Röschmann was initially identified as an interpreter of early music, duly sang rarities by Antonio Caldara at the early music festivals in Innsbruck and Göttingen. She then auditioned for Salzburg. Nothing initially came of it, though she soon wound up with a contract for the Berlin Staatsoper. Röschmann soon found herself working with René Jacobs on Georg Frideric Handel's Semele, as well as singing a Flower Maiden in Wagner's Parsifal for Daniel Barenboim. Inevitably she broadened her repertoire to take in mainstream as well as early works and now admits that the two disciplines have cross-fertilised. Since 1986 Dorothea Röschmann has maintained a very busy concert schedule with engagements in Europe, Canada, and the USA Among her numerous appearances, the soprano has sung with the Festival du Comminges (South-France), Holland's Utrecht Early Music Festival, Tage für Alte Musik Osnäbruck and the Dresdner Musikfestpiele (Germany). Other engagements have been at Carnegie Hall in Ne
