Diana Damrau

German soprano opera singer

Diana Damrau is remembered in music for work that changed what came after it.

The record lists Diana Damrau as German soprano opera singer.

Diana Damrau was born at Günzburg in 1971. Her recorded nationality is Germany.

Amplification, television and the album as an art form defined this period, and the record industry reached its greatest scale.

She worked as opera singer and musician.

The instruments recorded are voice.

Her work is classed as opera.

What survives in music is rarely what sold best at the time.

The honours record reads: Bavarian Order of Merit (2016), Würzburg Cultural Prize (2010), Bavarian Culture Prize (2007) and Cross of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany (2021).

That the work came out of Germany shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
