The Frankfurt born soprano Petra Lang is one of today’s foremost interpreters of the Richard Wagner repertoire. Having started as a lyric mezzo she quickly developed into a highly-in-demand interpreter of dramatic rôles such as Wagner’s Brangäne, Kundry, Venus, Sieglinde, and Ortrud, Bartók’s Judith, Berg’s Marie, Berlioz’s Cassandre and Strauss’s Ariadne.

Since her register change in 2012 she is a sought-after Brünnhilde and gave her highly acclaimed rôle début as Isolde at the 2016 Bayreuth Festival. She won two GRAMMY^® Awards for her Cassandre on the London Symphony Orchestra’s live recording of Berlioz’s Les Troyens. She teaches young singers at international master-classes.
