About Christina

German mezzo soprano, Christina Bock, is known for her radiant colourful voice and her fearless, adventurous characters on stage. Her own unique genre-blending concert creations have garnered great acclaim. Since her professional debut at the age of 20, she has been a member of both the International Opernstudio and Ensemble of the Badische Staatstheater Karlsruhe and from 2014-2020 was a member of the Ensemble at Semperoper Dresden, debuting many core lyric mezzo roles. She is a regular guest at the Wiener Staatsoper and Bayerische Staatsoper Munich, as well as the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Opera National de France, and the Salzburg Festival. Bock regularly performs in recital and with different chamber music ensembles, international festivals and interdisciplinary projects. Current and recent engagements have included new productions at the Opéra Royal de Wallonie-Liège (Prince Orlofsky/Die Fledermaus) at the Bayerische Staatsoper and Wiener Staatsoper (Octavian/Rosenkavalier).

In concert this season she sings Mahler's Second Symphony with both the Filarmonica Toscanini and the Philharmonia Orchestra in London, and makes her debut with the Wiener Symphoniker. Her debut recording will be released in 2026 by Lexicon Classics.

Christina is based in Vienna, Austria

    • The energy of Act II, with these few reservations, carries us along in the expected sonic intoxication, thanks to the thoroughly classy interpretation by Christina Bock (Prince Orlofsky), perfect as master of ceremonies.

    • Unexpectedly rich in contours, you can experience Christina Bock in an absolutely brilliant role. Singing, acting skills and the terrific talent to imitate the Russian accent to perfection complete the character role of the jovial host. I like to invite myself guests" sings the vocally brightly coloured mezzo-soprano with expressive depth convincingly absorbing, so that the generous nature and the casual tone gestural, mimic and vocal are unequivocally taken away from her.
