Sarah Wegener

Sarah Wegener is a German-British soprano admired for the warmth and flexibility of a voice equally at home in Handel and Purcell, the Lied repertoire and demanding contemporary scores. She studied voice at the Stuttgart Musikhochschule, won the International Max Reger Song Competition in 2007, and has worked closely with the composer Georg Friedrich Haas, whose opera Bluthaus earned her a ‘Singer of the Year’ nomination from Opernwelt. Her singing is prized for its clarity of text and its luminous, finely controlled top, qualities the radiant soprano writing of Mahler’s Eighth rewards.
