Overview
Nathalie Stutzmann’s artistry stems from early studies in piano,bassoon, chamber music and conducting. Her rich contralto voicewas developed during lessons with her mother, the soprano ChristianeStutzmann, and subsequently at the École d’Art Lyrique de l’Opéra deParis with the legendary Hans Hotter. In addition to performing withthe world’s leading orchestras and being an esteemed recitalist, shehas flourished in recent years as a conductor.
Stutzmann returnsto Wigmore Hall with her ensemble Orfeo 55 to explore the energy,emotion and lyrical beauty of some of Vivaldi’s finest arias,complete with his plangent setting of Stabat Mater.
