Anja Kampe
The beautiful German Soprano with the perfect Italian diction is making a huge international career. Her debut as Sieglinde with Plácido Domingo as Siegmund in 2003 in Washington was sensational. Washington Post celebrated this debut as: “A major discovery and an altogether lovely artist. She brought both sweetness and steel to the part: Her voice has bloom, power and agility to spare. Best of all (...) Kampe came off as a vulnerable, fully dimensional and recognizable human figure." In 2004 the artist debuted in Antwerpen as Jenufa, in 2005 as Elsa in Trieste and as Odabella in Attila at the Antiken-Festspiele in Trier (Germany). She had huge success as Senta in the new production of Der Fliegende Holländer in Brussels and debuted with the same part at the Bayerische Staatsoper Munich in 2006, produced by Peter Konwitschny. In the same year her debut as Leonore in Fidelio took place at the Glyndebourne Festival. Further debuts followed: In 2006 she sang for the first time Ariadne at the Teatro Real in Madrid. In 2007 Anja Kampe made her Japan-debut in Tokyo with Senta at the New National Theatre, she sang Sieglinde once again next to Placido Domingo in Washington and made her sucessful Los Angeles debut as Leonore in Fidelio. She could also be heard in Washington as Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni, conducted by Plácido Domingo.
