Wangemann was born in 1961 in Kropstädt (now part of Wittenberg), in the Bezirk Halle of the German Democratic Republic (now in Saxony-Anhalt); her mother was a choir singer. [1] Wangemann had private singing lessons with Lotte Taubenreuther, and then studied under Christa Noack and Eva Schubert at the Musikhochschule Leipzig. [1]
While still a student she made her début at the Halle Opera House as Armida in the Rinaldo of Handel. From 1987 to 1991 she was a member of that opera, and sang rôles including Asteria in Tamerlano , Gilda in Rigoletto , Micaëla in Carmen , Marzelline in Fidelio , Nannetta in Falstaff and Susanna in The Marriage of Figaro [1]
In 1991 she moved to the Leipzig Opera; among her rôles there were Despina in Così fan tutte , Musetta in La Bohème and Zerlina in Don Giovanni . In contemporary repertoire she has sung Amanda in Le Grand Macabre by György Ligeti, and a bread-seller in The Nose by Shostakovich; in 1997 she sang in the première of Abraum by Jörg Herchet. [1] She has made guest appearances in Switzerland, Austria, Hungary and Poland, and has been active as a concert singer. [1]
