Louise Keast, Soprano & Denette Whitter, Piano

Australian soprano Louise Keast is an ensemble member of Opera Australia. In 2020 Louise made her main stage debut in the role of Marzelline in Beethoven’s Fidelio at Melbourne Opera. Her recent role debuts include Contessa in Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro, Fiordiligi in Mozart’s Cosi fan tutte and Wellgunde in Wagner’s opera Das Rheingold. Louise was a Richard Divall Emerging Artist at Melbourne Opera from 2019-2021 and during this time was the first recipient of the Rotary Melbourne Central Next Generations Service Exchange with Melbourne Opera, supporting her travel and study in Germany and Bayreuth.

Accompanying her will be Denette Whitter, founder and director of the Opera Academy at Henfenfeld Castle for the encouragement and training of young singers. A native Texan, she studied solo piano and accompaniment at Boston University. In 1995 she joined the International Opera Studio of the Zurich Opera House and the St. Gallen City Theatre as a repetiteur. She currently holds a teaching position for vocal repetition at the Hochschule für Musik Nuremberg.

Louise Keast will perform a recital programme of vocal works by Erich Wolfgang Korngold. Inspired by the festival theme “Reflection. Transformation. Creation”, the programme includes the song cycles “Unvergänglichkeit” op. 27 and Korngold’s “Drei Lieder” op. 22, arias from “Die tote Stadt” and “Das Wunder der Heliane” as well as the excerpt “Elsa’s Dream” from Lohengrin by Wagner.
