Corinne Winters

Recently named Best Female Singer of 2024 by the Oper! Awards, internationally acclaimed soprano Corinne Winters has sung over thirty leading roles in major opera houses around the world.

Corinne’s 25/26 opera season includes several house debuts, beginning with Houston Grand Opera as all three heroines in Puccini’s Il trittico, followed by Madama Butterfly at Staatsoper Berlin, Nedda in Pagliacci with the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, and Suor Angelica for Tiroler Festspiele Erl in a new production by Deborah Warner. Corinne returns to the Grand Théâtre de Genève in a new production of Madama Butterfly by Barbora Horáková Joly, and to the Palau de Les Arts Reina Sofía as Tatyana in Eugene Onegin. In concert, Corinne begins her season at the Slovak National Theatre, performing act two of Jenůfa in a gala honoring legendary soprano Gabriela Beňačková, a piece she will perform later in the season with the Bamberger Symphoniker and under the baton of Jakub Hrůša, and appears in two iconic works by Strauss: the final scene of Salome with Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, conducted by Daniel Harding, and Vier letzte Lieder with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Münchner Philharmoniker, both conducted by Jakub Hrůša. In addition, Corinne will perform an opera arias and duets program with Xabier Anduaga for Gstaad Music Festival and presents a solo recital with pianist Simon Lepper at the Grand Théâtre de Genève, inspired by the nineteenth century patroness of the arts, Nadezhda Von Meck. Her 25/26 season also includes two recording projects: the title role in Esther, a rediscovered piece by Ukrainian composer Thomas de Hartmann with The Bournemouth Symphony and conductor Kirill Karabits for the Pentatone label, and a disc of Verdi duets with tenor Charles Castronovo and the Kaunas City Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Constantine Orbelian for Delos Productions.
