From the family of Rainelle Krause:

With immense sadness, we share that Rainelle has passed away following a short hospitalization.

Rainelle was a force in our lives, a brilliant talent defined by grit, fearlessness, curiosity, intelligence, integrity, and resilience. Onstage, her voice matched the breathtaking power of her spirit. Offstage, she was a loving, caring soul whose vibrant energy lit up everyone around her. Our hearts are full from the years we shared, even as we're shocked that her skyrocketing career was cut short. We're grateful her preserved performances will let her gifts endure for years to come.

Rainelle always gave her very best, pouring her heart into her art and those she loved. The best way we can honor her memory is by living her values every day. We encourage you to keep her memory alive by sharing her beautiful performances.

We will plan an event to celebrate her life at a later date. For now, we wanted her friends and community to know this heartbreaking news.

Thank you for lifting her up through the ups and downs of her career. She loved sharing her journey with you.

"Rainelle Krause makes a smashing company debut as her arachnid mother, earning the afternoon’s longest applause break for the octave-jumping famous aria “Der Hölle Rache.”

 

-Houston Chronicle

Known for her pristine, fiery coloratura, soprano Rainelle Krause brings an unflinching ferocity coupled with a deeply truthful humanity to the stage. She recently impressed audiences and critics alike at her début at English National Opera in her signature role, Die Königin der Nacht in Die Zauberflöte. Her performance was praised by Opera Magazine as “formidable”, her “bright, ringing coloratura…enough to instill fear into any living being”.
