Tanja Ariane Baumgartner recently made her surprise debut at the Royal Opers house as Clairon in Richard Strauss' Capriccio. Her dark and rich tone marked her out as a true contralto, an observation which is clarified by her repertoire: Gaea in Daphne, Ulrica in Un Ballo in Maschera, and Mitrena in Motezuma.
