中文名：黛博拉·沃伊特 外文名：Deborah Voigt 国籍：美国 生日：1960年8月4日 经纪公司：EMI百代唱片 简介：Deborah Voigt is a leading dramatic soprano, particularly noted for singing Germanic repertory. The raw power and beauty of her voice, combined with unusually fine musicianship and interpretive genius, have made her one of the most sought-after singers of the 1990s and 2000s. 从艺历程：Voigt had little contact with classical music growing up. She was always musical, however, and while attending the University of California, Fullerton, she enjoyed singing with guitar for elementary school children (she calls this her "Julie Andrews/Sound of Music phase"). After graduation she was accepted into the San Francisco Opera's young artist program, where she received intensive coaching and small roles. From that experience, Voigt began carving out a respectable young career, and the magnitude of her talents soon became evident: while she was singing a small role in ' Elektra at the Theatre de la Monnaie in Brussels in 1987, an assistant conductor predicted that "someday [she would] make a wonderful Chrysothemis," referring to the major role of Elektra's sister, which has since become one of Voigt's signatures. The next year she gained international fame as the winner of the Luciano Pavarotti Voice Competition; in 1990 she won the Gold Medal at the Tchaikovsky International Competition in Moscow; and in 1992 she won the Richard Tucker Award, which provides a generous award each year to an American artist showing exceptional promise for an outstanding career. Starring as Ariadne in Strauss' Ariadne auf Naxos with the Boston Lyric Opera became Voigt's breakthrough performance. She repeated the role in her debuts in Munich and Vienna, and later that year she debuted at New York's Metropolitan Opera House as Amelia in 's Un ballo in maschera. In 1992 the prediction of that assistant conductor in Belgium came true when she sang Chrysothemis in a cast that included and and was conducted by . She rapidly became recognized as one of the most powerful dramatic voices in the world. David Patrick Stearns wrote in USA Today in August 1996, "There comes a point in a Deborah Voigt opera performance, at the end of a difficult aria, when you think she has given her all. Suddenly, the voice hits overdrive -- and a whole new level of vocal power. Audiences go wild." Voigt has been most closely associated with the works of Strauss (Chrysothemis, Ariadne, the Empress in Die Frau ohne Schatten, The Egyptian Helen) and (Lady Macbeth, Amelia, Aida, Leonora in La forza del destino). But later in the 1990s she began branching out into Wagnerian roles (Senta, Elsa, Sieglinde, Elisabeth). She is also famous for the part of Cassandra in 's Les Troyens, Mathilde in 's William Tell and Leonore in Beethoven's Fidelio. Her concert hall repertory includes 's Guerrelieder, 's Lyric Symphony, the Requiem, 's Klagende Lied and Second and Eighth Symphonies, 's Stabat Mater, and Strauss' Four Last Songs. The early 2000s brought Voigt's career to a new level. In 2003 she sang the prized role of Isolde in 's Tristan und Isolde at the Vienna State Opera and was rewarded with a 23-minute ovation at the production's premiere on May 25. She sang four roles at the Met in New York in the 2003-2004 season and also made her Carnegie Hall recital debut in April 2004, with accompanying her. (She has also been known to commandeer the keyboard herself at times.) She was named 2003 Vocalist of the Year by Musical America. Voigt played Brünnhilde in Robert Lepage's staging of the complete Ring Cycle at the Met in 2011 and 2012. She remains one of the world's most active and critically acclaimed sopranos. 荣誉记录：她曾在 1988 年赢得费城卢恰诺·帕瓦罗蒂声乐比赛冠军，在 1989 年赢得威尔第大赛冠军，并在 1990 年获得柴可夫斯基国际音乐大赛最佳女歌手金奖。 1992年3月，她获得了理查德·塔克音乐基金会颁发的最高奖项理查德·塔克奖，奖金包括3万美元的现金。 沃格特曾数次获得格莱美奖提名，并于 1996 年因与蒙特利尔交响乐团合作录制由夏尔·迪图瓦执导的柏辽兹的《特洛伊人》而共同获得“最佳歌剧录音”奖。她还在 2002 年因哥伦比亚唱片公司的录音而共同获得“最佳合唱表演”奖提名。2013 年，她因大都会歌剧院录制的理查德·瓦格纳的《尼伯龙根的指环》而共同获得“最佳歌剧录音”奖。 沃格特于 2003 年荣获《音乐美国》杂志年度最佳歌手奖，并于 2007 年荣获歌剧新闻杰出成就奖。2002 年 3 月 27 日，巴士底歌剧院向她授予法国艺术与文学勋章骑士勋章。 1997年，她被选入普拉森西亚-约巴林达联合学区名人堂。
