Gerhild Romberger

The mezzo-soprano Gerhild Romberger, who comes from Germany’s Emsland region, studied music for schools and singing in Detmold and completed courses in lied performance with Mitsuko Shirai and Hartmut Höll.

She has worked with such orchestras as the Vienna and Berlin Philharmonics, the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, the Filarmonica della Scala, and the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra. Her partners on the podium include Herbert Blomstedt, Riccardo Chailly, Gustavo Dudamel, Daniel Harding, Zubin Mehta, Andris Nelsons, and Franz Welser-Möst. In the 2023-24 season, she will sing in performances of Mahler’s Second and Third Symphonies and Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Gerhild Romberger has taught voice in Detmold since 2003.
