DIANA DAMRAU & NICOLAS TESTÉ
Life partners as well as partners on stage, Diana Damrau and Nicolas Testé, have built a reputation together thanks to their passionate performances full of emotional depth, vocal skill and musical chemistry. Their recitals give the audience an unforgettable experience of beauty and the power of classical music through performances of a wide selection from the classical and opera repertoire, including arias, duets and songs to deliver unforgettable evenings of dynamic interpretations and passionate duets. Together, they have appeared in many prestigious venues around the world, such as the Royal Opera House in London, the Paris Opera and New York's Carnegie Hall. Following her debut in 2015 with a recital in the Carmel Church, the German soprano – one of the greatest sopranos of our times and a great favourite at the Metropolitan Opera House – returns to the same venue with 'Everything for Love'. With French bass Nicolás Testé and renowned pianist Helmut Deutsch, they will perform works by composers including Duparc, Strauss, Gounod, Donizetti, Bellini and Lehar to offer an inspiring voyage through opera, operetta, lieder and song.
