Claudia Eder (born 7 February 1948)[1] is a German mezzo-soprano in opera and concert, and an academic at the Hochschule für Musik Mainz.
Other roles included Dorabella in Mozart's Così fan tutte, Rossini's La Cenerentola, Meg in Verdi's Falstaff, and Hansel in Humperdinck's Hänsel und Gretel.
[1] She sang the parts of La Muse and Nicklausse on a recording conducted by Seiji Ozawa, with Plácido Domingo, Edita Gruberová, Christa Ludwig, Gabriel Bacquier and Justino Díaz, among others.
Her voice is full of youthful confidence and flexibility, and her singing of her alternative Act 2 song Voyez-la sous son eventail is a real delight.
In a concert to mark her appointment she performed a cantata Arianna a Naxos of Joseph Haydn, a new composition by the conductor Wolfgang Hofmann, Wirklichkeit unserer unverläßliches Märchen after Rose Ausländer, Ottorino Respighi's Il Tramonto, and Zigeunerlieder of Johannes Brahms.
