Düerkop, Renate, Sopran, * Coburg / Bavaria; she studied at Munich Hochschule für Theater und Musik. She completed her vocal skills by private studies with Josef Metternich and Wolfgang Brendel.

Renate Düerkop debuted at Munich Staatsoper as Shoemaker´s wife in "Die wundersame Schustersfrau" by U. Zimmermann.

As dramatic soprano Renate Düerkop became a member of the ensembles of Pforzheim-Theater, Pfalz-Theater Kaiserslautern and of the opera-house Halle / Saale. Renate Düerkop actually works as a freelanced singer. She also earns attention as a concert- and Lieder-singer.

Renate Düerkop is distinguished by a characteristic dramatic soprano with a splendid technique and a brilliant vocal leading. Her timbre and acting on stage will make her a first choice for the heavy German dramatic parts as well as Russian and contemporary opera or parts like Turandot and Lady Macbeth.
