Lise Davidsen LIVE!

lise-kdfc-bno

You could win a pair of premium tickets to see Lise Davidsen at ZELLERBACH HALL, UC BERKELEY from Cal Performances!

Lise Davidsen, soprano James Baillieu, piano Thu, Nov 19, 7:30pm

Hailed by the Telegraph as “the greatest soprano in the world,” Lise Davidsen has listeners flocking to hear her wherever she sings—a following that has only grown since her memorable Cal Performances debut during the 2024–25 season. Her return to Berkeley arrives amid a remarkable year for this singular artist, including her long-awaited role debut as Isolde in Wagner’s Tristan und Isoldeat the Metropolitan Opera and Barcelona’s Gran Teatre del Liceu in two stunning productions created expressly for her, each rapturously received.

Here, she and recital partner James Baillieu––one of the leading song pianists of his generation––bring a program featuring works by Bach, Reger, and Richard Strauss alongside Wagner’s Tristan-imbued Wesendonck Lieder, all capped off with a glorious selection of traditional Christmas favorites sung in English, German, Italian, and, of course, Davidsen’s native Norwegian.
