Bio
Gundula Janowitz is a German soprano renowned for her pure, luminous voice and refined interpretations of Mozart, Strauss, and Bach. Born in Berlin in 1937, she rose to prominence in the 1960s and became a leading figure at the Vienna State Opera and the Salzburg Festival. Her recordings of the Countess in Le nozze di Figaro and the Marschallin in Der Rosenkavalier remain benchmarks of the repertoire. She retired from the stage in the early 1990s and has since devoted herself to teaching.
