London's Financial Times enthused, "Golda Schultz sings with strength and assurance, her voice with its own distinctively thrilling radiance; she is a newcomer who simply has everything." The captivating soprano is equally at home transfixing audiences from the opera and concert stage with formidable technique and commanding charm. Putting performance first, she says, "I don't want my audiences to see me. I want them to see themselves."
"Fast-rising South African soprano, Golda Schultz" (The Times) was a journalism major at Rhodes University in Grahamstown, South Africa when she took her first music elective, relevant to her exposure to the arts growing up from her classical music loving father and theater loving mother. In the school's music library, she happened upon a recording of Die Fledermaus featuring soprano Kiri Te Kanawa, followed by an album of the legendary Maria Callas. Inspired by these recordings, Schultz began singing Mozart works, and hasn't stopped singing since, moving on to pursue a graduate degree in music at the University of Cape Town, cementing her decision to pursue an operatic career. After two years with the Cape Town Opera, Schultz traveled to the U.S. for the first time to successfully audition for the prestigious Juilliard School.
The program will include:
CLARA SCHUMANN: Liebst du um Schonheit, Warum willst du andere fragen Am Strande, and Lorelei
