Soprano Deborah VoightDivas and Pipas
American soprano Deborah Voigt is a regular guest at the world's top opera companies, where she sings the vocally demanding roles of Strauss and Wagner. This month, she’s starring at the Metropolitan Opera in one of her signature roles, the Empress in Strauss's mystical fable “Die Frau ohne Schatten” ("The Woman Without a Shadow"). But today on Soundcheck, she offers a glimpse at the more intimate side of her artistry, when she performs a selection of holiday favorites. Speaking of the Met, the vaunted company made headlines last week when it announced that, for the first time in its 120-year history, it will take a break in the middle of its season. New York Times cultural reporter Robin Pogrebin brings us up to speed on the announcement. And Chinese pipa virtuoso Min Xiao-Fen stops by to discuss her activities honoring jazz legend Thelonious Monk.
