Soprano Elsa Dreisig, ICMA Young Artists of the Year 2017, has signed an exclusive recording contract with Erato, with her debut album to be released in October 2018.
Dreisig’s original programme explores how different composers have approached the same great heroines: the Salomé of Massenet and Richard Strauss, the Manon of Massenet and Puccini; Gounod’s Juliette illuminated by little-known composer Daniel Steinbel’s Roméo et Juliette – each dual portrait bringing dramatic and musical insights to some of the greatest female roles of French, Italian and German opera. The album was recorded in Montpellier, France, with the Orchestre national Montpellier Occitanie Pyrénées Méditerranée and Danish conductor Michael Schönwandt.
