Grammy Award-winning American soprano Christine Brewer's appearances in opera, concert, and recital are distinguished by her unique timbre, at once rich and brilliant, combined with a vibrant personality and emotional honesty reminiscent of the great sopranos of the past. Her range, golden tone, boundless power, and control make her a favorite of the stage as well as a sought-after recording artist. "This is a voice to be reckoned with; it possesses beauty, warmth, and point...[she is] a talent that should be heard in all the biggest houses" (Opera News).
