Biography and career

Bach was born in Limburg an der Lahn, where she was a member of the Limburg Cathedral's girl choir from a very young age. After her abitur, she began her studies at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Frankfurt am Main, under Elsa Cavelti's tutelage. During her time there she also made her operatic debut at the Staatstheater Darmstadt.[1]

Since then, Bach has performed in such opera houses such as the Deutsche Oper am Rhein, the Nationaltheater München, and the Theater der Stadt Heidelberg, with conductors Reinhard Goebel, Peter Neumann, Ton Koopman, and Helmuth Rilling, among others.[2] Additionally, she has performed the soprano parts in Mahler's symphonies, as Antigona in Handel's Admeto, and as Alice Ford in Verdi's Falstaff.[3] She has also performed with the Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, and the Berlin Philharmonic. Bach is a professor at the Hochschule für Musik Trossingen. She is married to the German pianist and conductor Eckart Manke.
