Nominated by the critics at Opernwelt magazine as Promising Young Artist of 2019, the Munich-born soprano has established herself in recent years as a highly talented young lyric singer.

Aennchen on René Jacob’s Der Freischütz tour with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra.
Engaged by Opernstudio at the Frankfurt Opera after finishing her studies, Katharina is currently a member of the ensemble at the Freiburg Opera House, where she has sung numerous important soprano roles, including Susanna (The Marriage of Figaro), Vixen (The Cunning Little Vixen), Musetta (La Bohème) and Nanetta (Falstaff).
Her performance of Mélisande (Pelléas et Mélisande) was ac- claimed in the press “ highlight of the season” (nmz/Der neue Merker, July 2019).
Guest engagements have followed, as Pamina (at the State Theatre in Darmstadt), Aennchen (State Theatre Karlsruhe), Adele (The Bat), at the Gärtnerplatztheater in Munich, the Theater an der Wien in Vienna and most recently at the Zurich Opera House.
