The soprano Diana Damrau stars in the operas of Mozart, Verdi, Rossini, Donizetti and Strauss, but Forever is the ‘soundtrack of her life’ in the form of much-loved numbers from operetta, musicals and the movies – including Die Fledermaus, My Fair Lady, West Side Story, The Phantom of the Opera and The Little Mermaid. “This music shows a side of me that many people don’t know yet,” she says. “These tunes are great art, because they are associated with unforgettable moments in everyone’s lives.”
Stars Of Musicals is a stunning collection featuring 60 of the greatest musical songs taken from the most popular musicals including Phantom Of The Opera, The Wizard Of Oz, Annie, Evita, Joseph, Oliver, The Lion King, Oklahoma & more more. The glittering line of artists includes Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Crawford, Bing Crosby, John Barrowman plus many more celebrated stars.
Even though she is a celebrated operatic star with many brilliant coloratura roles in her repertoire, Diana Damrau is also a versatile performer in many other styles of vocal music, including concert arias, art songs, pop standards, and songs from musicals and movies. Because she embraces such a wide range of material with affection and technical ease, she is able to move gracefully between the worlds of Viennese operetta, Broadway show tunes, and music from Disney films, with only the slightest indications from her well-supported vocal production and crisp diction that she is much better known for her performances of Mozart, Donizetti, Verdi, and Strauss.
