Christa Mayer

Christa Mayer is a German mezzo-soprano celebrated for her rich, expressive voice and versatility in both operatic and concert repertoire. Based in Munich, she’s been a staple at the Bavarian State Opera since 2006, dazzling audiences in roles ranging from Wagner’s *Erda* and *Fricka* to Strauss’s *Octavian* and *Clairon*. Her recent recordings, like Schubert’s *Mass No. 6* and Strauss’s *Der Bürger als Edelmann*, showcase her knack for blending dramatic intensity with lyrical warmth. A collaborator with top conductors and ensembles, Mayer also shines in art songs (check out her Zilcher and Suder lieder albums!) and Baroque works. Offstage, she’s known for mentoring young singers—proof that great voices can lift others while reaching stratospheric high notes themselves.
