Gretchen Krupp
MEZZO-SOPRANO
With a voice and delivery described as “showstopping”, “ripe, round” and “searing”, Gretchen
Krupp is quickly building a reputation for
extraordinary
vocalism
and
theatricality.
Her repertoire is wide-ranging and eclectic,
encompassing old and new, dramatic and comic.
Hers is a talent firmly coming into its own.
During the summer of 2023, Gretchen made her
Santa Fe Opera debut as Mary in Der fliegender
Holländer and also covered Ježibaba in Rusalka.
Upcoming engagements include a concert with the
Hart Institute for Women Conductors, The Diving
Bell and the Butterfly, and Elektra with Dallas Opera.
She makes a role debut with the Atlanta Opera as
Fricka in Die Walküre and returns in 2025 for another
role debut.
