The German soprano Juliane Banse, who grew up in Zurich, first took lessons with Paul Steiner, later with Ruth Rohner at the Zurich Opera House, and then completed her studies with Brigitte Fassbaender and Daphne Evangelatos in Munich. Since then she has toured the world on opera and concert stages, mostly in collaboration with the famous conductors of our time, such as Riccardo Chailly, Bernard Haitink, Franz Welser-Möst, Marin Alsop, Zubin Mehta and Manfred Honeck, among others.
