Judit Kutasi
“With her “deeper, dark” (Jenny Camilleri/ Bachtrack) voice is one of the most up-and-coming singers in her repertoire and leads critics to predict that she will be the Verdi mezzo of the next years” (Maximilian Maier – BR Klassik).
In the 2023/24 season, Kutasi is poised to make several major debuts: she sees her first performances in the United States as Ortrud in Wagner’s Lohengrin with at the San Francisco Opera, and celebrates her Metropolitan Opera debut as Preziosilla in the new production of La forza del destino under Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin. She makes her house debut at the Royal Danish Opera in Copenhagen with Verdi’s Requiem led by Bertrand de Billy, and appears for the first time with the Salzburg Easter Festival performing the same masterpiece under the baton of Maestro Antonio Pappano. Verdi’s Requiem also brings her to St. Louis, where she sings it with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra under Stéphane Denève. Additionally, she returns to the Deutsche Oper Berlin, where she reprises the role of Laura in La Gioconda; performs Amneris in Aïda, one of her signature roles, at the Hungarian State Opera; and sings the role of Erda in a concert performance of Wagner’s Siegfried at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.
