The stage of Birgitta Festival has not yet seen such a global star asBarbara Hendricks. What makes Hendricks unique is that while she is a recognized classical artist, she also gladly sings musicals and spirituals. “I sing these genres, because I grew up with them and they played an important role in my development,” said Barbara Hendricks in an interview to the festival about her relationship with American musicals. Hendricks has performed in the world’s leading opera houses (MET, Paris Opera, La Scala, Covent Garden), since her debut at the 1994 Montreux Festival she is also a sought-after jazz performer. Her records are still among the best selling in the world. She has been on stage since 1974 and currently performs as opera, jazz and concert singer.
