Юлия Варади

However, she was engaged by Christoph Van Dohnanyi at the Frankfort Opera in 1968 and then settled at the Munich Opera where she sang a considerable range of roles from Vitellia, (The Clemency of Titus) to Lady Macbeth, (Macbeth), from Santuzza (Cavalleria Rusticana) to Violetta, (The Traviata) and certain Wagnerian roles like Santa, (The Flying Dutchman). Her career then extended to include the most prestigious stages of Berlin, London, Milan and New York.

Julia Varady decided to leave the stage in 1998 to concentrate henceforth on the art of the Lied continuing to pursue the faithful interpretation of the text through music. Much of her time is also taken up with teaching and Julia Varady has devoted herself to public master classes in Berlin, Karlsruhe and Stuttgart. Far from the turmoil of the media, Julia Varady deepens to perfection each of her roles, with a focal requirement of restoring the originality and totality of the score.
