Régine Crespin enjoyed a successful international career in opera and on the concert stage spanning from 1950 to 1989. Initially specializing in dramatic and spinto soprano roles, she excelled in portraying Wagner and Strauss heroines. Over time, she broadened her repertoire to encompass Italian, French, German, and Russian opera. Facing vocal challenges in the early 1970s, she transitioned to mezzo-soprano roles. Known for her elegance, warmth, and nuance in French and German operas, Crespin performed at renowned opera houses worldwide, notably the Metropolitan Opera. Following her retirement, she shared her expertise by teaching singing at the Conservatoire de Paris and conducting highly-regarded master classes globally.
