Ulrike Clausen (Contralto)

The German contralto, Ulrike Clausen, studied singing at the Richard-Strauss-Konservatorium with Helmut Banzhaf. In 1994 she had stipend of the Richard-Wagner-Verbandes Munich, and sang many opera roles such as Octavian in the Rosenkavalier and Dorabella in W.A. Mozart's Cosi fan tutte.
