Christine Brewer

Introduction

Recognised as amongst the foremost singers of our age, Christine Brewer’s recent engagements have included the gala concerts to re-open the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden (under Bernard Haitink), Britten’s "War Requiem" in Rome with Antonio Pappano and she has forged strong links with the BBC Proms (most notably with performances of Wagner’s "Die Walküre" and "Götterdämmerung" and Schönberg’s "Gurrelieder" under Donald Runnicles, and Mahler’s 8th Symphony under Sir Simon Rattle). Christine Brewer’s opera engagements include the Färberin ("Die Frau ohne Schatten") with the Lyric Opera of Chicago and the Paris Opera, Gluck’s "Alceste" and Britten’s "Albert Herring" in Santa Fe. Miss Brewer is the recipient of the BBC Radio 3 Listener’s Award of the 2008 Royal Philharmonic Society Music Awards.
