Ekaterina Gubanova - In conversation with the mezzo-soprano

It's time for a new English-language episode of your favorite
podcast, don't you think? That's why today we have "Parlando" with
the Russian mezzo-soprano Ekaterina Gubanova. I was very lucky to
be able to meet the exceptional singer last summer in Bayreuth
during the festival, where she sang Kundry in the new "Parsifal".
Since her celebrated debut as Venus in Tobias Kratzer's cult
production of "Tannhäuser", she has been an integral part of the so
called "green hill" of Bayreuth and is popular with audiences and
press alike. I spoke to Ekaterina about her musical roots, why
working on Kundry is a lifelong pursuit, what makes Bayreuth her
favorite place to work and why it is important not to neglect your
private life alongside singing . Enjoy and share this episode with
everyone who loves opera and great singing. Thanks for your support
