About Golda

“A soprano of unearthly lyrical beauty...”

— Frankfurter Rundschau

Meet Golda Schultz, a {proudly} South African Soprano. Conquering the world’s opera houses and concert halls, one stage at a time. Connecting people through music, one song at a time.

ABOUT GOLDA

“The soprano, sensitive and generous, enchants in Strauss’s Four Last Songs.”

Diapason, Nicolas Derny, October 2026
“...an extraordinary voice.”

Ruhr Nachrichten, October 2026
“...her voice filled the entire hall and moved hearts with uniquely interpreted songs“

Hamburger Abendblatt, Viktor Oliver, October 2026
“The South African soprano's richly colored, exceptionally flexible voice makes her the ideal interpreter of Richard Strauss.”

Badische Neueste Nachrichten, Thomas Weiss, September 2026
“With a bell-like, incredibly agile tone, she soars above the Staatskapelle into the skies of a shimmering, burgeoning natural world, with all its allure. Golda Schultz’s voice shows not the slightest trace of harshness; its sound is soft, luminous and luxuriant – yet always exquisitely controlled.”

Pamina Magazin, Christine Gehringer, September 2026
“Schultz sounded like the perfect Neoclassical, Mozartian tragic heroine.”

Parterre Box, Max Keller, April 2026
“...one could see Schultz’s acting chops on full display here – the ability to hold a room’s attention, to use silence and facial expression for effect just as skillfully as she used her voice.”

Parterre Box, Matthew Paul Smith, April 2026
“Schultz delivered the mannered text with naturalness, giving the cavatina mournful weight while sailing easily through the coloratura demands.”

Classical Voice North America, Susan Brodie, April 2026
“One is immediately dazzled by her velvety, powerful, even, and seemingly effortless voice.”

Crescendo Magazin, March 26
“In her wake, soprano Golda Schultz leaves a sensitive and radiant imprint on this cycle, never forcing either her voice or the vocal aesthetic [...]. Her vocal ductility is striking, even down to the humming tones.”

Première Loge, Gérard Condé, March 2026
“Her vocal flexibility is striking.”

Premiere Loge, March 2026
“Schultz brought a sense of poetry and seamless progression to the Four Last Songs…Her voice possessed both the weight and shimmer needed for this musical, and she drew out the composer’s seemingly endless phrases with limitless breath control…”

Parterre Box, Cameron Kelsall, March 2026
“...a voice of shimmering beauty…”

San Francisco Classical Voice, Lisa Hirsch, February 2026
“Balm for the voice and the soul”

tagesspiegel, Klaus Büstrin, January 2026
"The South African soprano's voice, exuding exuberant beauty, has the power to melt even the hardest of hearts."

— Tagesspiegel (May 2025) (about Webers Freischütz at the Berlin Phil)
"This is largely thanks to Golda Schultz’s phenomenal account of the role, a performance with such depth of emotion and musical sophistication that we all begin to breathe with her"

— Financial Time, Don Giovanni in Aix (July 2025)
"Golda Schultz's radiant soprano makes Donna Anna a charismatic figure."

— Telerama, Don Giovanni in Aix (July 2025)
“Donna Anna, sung with dramatic aplomb by the magnificent soprano Golda Schultz”

— FAZ, Don Giovanni in Aix (July 2025)
"with brilliance and a radiant voice, particularly touching"

— Premiere Loge, Don Giovanni in Aix (July 2025)
“In a generally strong cast, the soprano Golda Schultz stood out as an eloquent and assured Donna Anna.”

— New York Times, Don Giovanni in Aix (July 2025)
“South African soprano Golda Schultz is vocally exceptional. Always pitch-perfect in her stage presence.”

— Le Point, Don Giovanni in Aix (July 2025)

Mozart, You Drive Me Crazy!

This is the title that the South African soprano Golda Schultz has decided to give to her new album, devoted to the female heroines of Don Giovanni, Così fan tutte and Le nozze di Figaro , roles that have marked her career from Munich to The Metropolitan Opera.

“Why does Mozart drive me crazy? First of all, because his music, which sounds so easy when you listen to it, is extremely difficult to perform . . . And when I immerse myself in the world of Da Ponte and Mozart, I realise that there’s a deep complexity to their female characters: they endure the toughest trials, but they also display great strength. In fact, these operas explore humanity from the feminine perspective: every single one of these women is constantly evolving. They show how human beings transcend trauma and how grief and pain can be overcome.”

Album by Antonello Manacorda, Golda Schultz, and Kammerakademie Potsdam.
