Christine Rice

**Christine Rice** is a celebrated British mezzo-soprano known for her rich, expressive voice and versatility across opera, concert, and song repertoire. Born in Manchester, she trained at the Royal Academy of Music and quickly rose to prominence with standout performances in works by composers like Mozart, Handel, and Strauss. Her career spans prestigious venues like the Royal Opera House, Glyndebourne, and Carnegie Hall, where she’s tackled dramatic roles (think Carmen or Octavian) and deeply nuanced art songs with equal flair.

Recent highlights include her haunting take on *Verklärte Nacht - German Orchestral Songs*, showcasing her mastery of lush, emotionally charged material, and her role in *Donizetti: Lucia di Lammermoor*, where her vocal depth adds gravity to the bel canto drama. Whether onstage or in recordings, Rice balances powerhouse intensity with delicate phrasing, making her a favorite among classical fans and critics alike.
