A magical voice! The extraordinary singer Julie Zelter (1767–1806)

About this Event

For the Year of the Voice 2025, the MIM commemorates the Berlin singer Julie Zelter. Six portraits show alongside Julie Zelter the musicians and composers Carl Friedrich Christian Fasch and Carl Friedrich Zelter, Julie’s husband. The range of Julie’s voice spanned three and a half octaves and was said to be as sweet and lovely as the magical voice of an angel. In 1791, she became one of the co-founders of the Berlin Sing-Akademie.
