Known for her absolute precision and fiery coloratura, soprano Rainelle Krause is a versatile and compelling artist who recently impressed audiences and critics alike at her Houston Grand Opera début in her signature role, Die Königin der Nacht in Die Zauberflöte. Her performance was praised by Texas Classical Review for its “brilliance, agility, and precision,” and The Houston Chronicle called it “a smashing company début.” Last season brought several significant appearances in the role, including with Bergen Nasjonale Opera, Opera Orchestre Montpellier Occitanie, Staatsoper Berlin Unter den Linden, and The Metropolitan Opera (cover). She also brought her indemand Königin to Royal Danish Opera, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Theater Basel, Oper Köln, and North Carolina Opera. This season, she reprises the role with the Royal Danish Opera and Berlin Staatsoper Unter den Linden, and she makes her Dutch National Opera, English National Opera, and Nashville Opera débuts in the role.   Other recent highlights include her guest artist appearance with English National Opera’s BBC Proms concert “Horrible Histories: ‘Orrible Opera,” soprano soloist for Brevard Music Festival’s Carmina Burana under the baton of JoAnn Falletta, Oscar in Un ballo in maschera at Royal Danish Opera, the Princess in The Snow Queen at Concertgebouw Amsterdam under Maestro Kent Nagano, Tania in Al gran sole carico d'amore with Theater Basel, Pat Nixon in Nixon in China at The Princeton Festival, and featured artist for Opus Opera’s event, Mystique, a circus and opera collaboration.  Ms. Krause was awarded First Place in the Fielder Grant Competition, Third Place and Audience Favorite in the Orpheus Competition, and was chosen as one of four winners in the Texas Camerata’s Baroque Aria Competition.
