Real name: Nina Maria Stemme

Effective period / Period of releases: 1994 - 2017

Swedish operatic soprano, born 11 May 1963 in Västerleds parish, Stockholm.

Stemme is regarded by today's opera fans as our era's greatest Wagnerian soprano. In 2010, Michael Kimmelman wrote of one of Stemme's performances in Richard Wagner's opera Die Walküre, "As for Brünnhilde, Nina Stemme sang gloriously. It's hard to recall anyone's sounding more commanding or at ease in the part, and that includes Kirsten Flagstad".
