She’s a vocal powerhouse with "one of the world’s most thrilling voices, a sun-drenched soprano capable of filling a hall made for symphony orchestras with self-amplified brilliance…" – The New York Observer

American soprano Deborah Voigt, one of today’s greatest interpreters of dramatic opera roles by Richard Strauss and Richard Wagner, also enjoys great acclaim in such popular Italian roles as Tosca, Aida, Leonore in La forza del destino and Amelia in Un ballo in Maschera. Active as a recitalist and singer of Broadway standards, Ms. Voigt has also given master classes and made numerous recordings. This recital marks her Toronto debut. The varied programme consists of repertoire by the classical masters such as Mozart, Verdi, Strauss, and Respighi; American composers Amy Beach and Leonard Bernstein are also featured.

Deborah Voigt makes regular opera appearances in the great opera houses of Europe and North America, and has collaborated with such esteemed maestri such as Sir Andrew Davis, Leonard Slatkin, Lorin Maazel, and Christoph Eschenbach. This current full-scale recital tour takes Deborah Voigt, with her frequent collaborator, pianist Brian Zeger, to her home state of Florida, to the West Coast and abroad. New York’s Carnegie Hall and London’s Barbican are two notable venues among many. As well as singing performances of Wagner, Strauss, Puccini and Verdi, Ms. Voigt added the title role of Ponchielli's La Gioconda to her extensive repertoire. She has sung starring roles the world over in Strauss’s Ariadne auf Naxos, Der Rosenkavalier, Elektra, Die Frau ohne Schatten, The Egyptian Helen and Friedenstag, as well as Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde, Die Walküre, Lohengrin, Tannhäuser and Der fliegende Holländer.
