LouisAlain: /* Life and career */
'''Christina Gansch''' (born 1990<ref>[http://bit.ly/2WlEesE Mozarteum: ''Die Kavalleristin'']; retrieved on 5 May 2019</ref>) is an Austrian operatic [[soprano]].
== Life and career ==
Born in [[St. Pölten]], during her school time Gansch studied at the Konservatorium für Kirchenmusik of the [[Roman Catholic Diocese of Sankt Pölten]], went to the [[Mozarteum University Salzburg]] in 2008, graduated there in 2012 with distinction and won some prizes. She attended [[master class]]es with [[Michèle Crider]], [[Edita Gruberová]], [[Angelika Kirchschlager]], and [[Thomas Moser]] and continued her studies at the [[Royal Academy of Music]] in London.
Her international opera debut took place in September 2013 as Amor in Gluck's ''[[Orfeo ed Euridice]]'' at the [[Opéra national de Montpellier]].<ref>OperaBase lists the debut already in September 2012, the only criticism that can be found refers to the performance series from autumn 2013, which seems to be verified.</ref><ref>Maurice Saales: [http://bit.ly/2DRhJEu En quête d'identité], in ''ForumOpera.com'', 24 September 2013</ref> This was followed by appearances at the [[Verbier Festival]] in Switzerland, at the "Resonanzen-Festival" in Vienna and at the [[Wigmore Hall]] in London. In March 2013 she played Barbarina in ''[[Le nozze di Figaro]]'' at the [[Theater an der Wien]] - in the context of the [[concert performance]] [[Lorenzo Da Ponte|Da-Ponte]]-cycle with the [[Concentus Musicus Wien]] directed by [[Nikolaus Harnoncourt]]. The critics were uniformly favourable, "besides comedic potential", ''[[Der Standard]]'' praised "a voice that predestines her for larger roles".<ref>Daniel Ender: [http://bit.ly/2Wqmmg0 Harnoncourt zwingt Wien zum Zuhören], ''[[Der Standard]]'', 7 March 2014</ref>
From 2014 to 2016 she was a member of the international opera studio at the [[Hamburg State Opera]] and in the 2016/2017 season a member of the ensemble at this house, where she performed Pamina in ''[[The Magic Flute]]'', Constance in ''[[Dialogues des Carmélites]]'', Handel's Almira in the [[Almira|eponymous opera]] and Gemmy in Rossini's ''[[William Tell (opera)|William Tell]]'' among other roles.<ref></ref>
