Hanna-Elisabeth Müller
SopranoHanna-Elisabeth Müller, possessing “a voice
as if cut from crystal” (Salzburger Nachrichten) is considered in equal measure
to be one of today’s foremost interpreters of lied and concert repertoire, and
as one of the most sought-after operatic artists. The soprano had her
international breakthrough at the 2014 Salzburg Easter Festival as Zdenka in
Strauss’ Arabella, co-starring with Renèe Fleming and Thomas Hampson under the
baton of Christian Thielemann. For this role, she was voted “Young Artist of the
Year” by Opernwelt magazine. The production was subsequently released on DVD
under United Classica in partnership with C Major. Müller is a frequent guest
of the world’s leading opera houses and festivals: Bayerische Staatsoper, the
Vienna Staatsoper, the Metropolitan Opera, Dresden’s Semperoper, Teatro alla
Scala, Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Opernhaus Zurich, and the Salzburg
Festival, among others.
In the 2023-24 season, Hanna-Elisabeth
Müller’s peerless versatility is once again on display in a return to the
Vienna State Opera, where she debuts the title role of Strauss’s Daphne under
the baton of Sebastian Weigle. Also in Vienna, the soprano sings further
performances as Eva in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg following her critically
acclaimed debut last season. At the Bayerische Staatsoper, Müller reprises
Elettra in Idomeneo, and in Salzburg’s Mozart Week, she makes another role
debut, Vitellia in La clemenza di Tito.
On the concert stage, Müller thrice performs
her signature Vier letzte Lieder of Richard Strauss: at the CRR Concert Hall in
Istanbul, in Salzburg with the Mozarteum Orchestra, and in Bamberg under the
musical direction of Christoph Eschenbach. She will be heard as the soprano
soloist in Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 “Resurrection” in her first appearance with
the New York Philharmonic and music director Jaap van Zweden, and sees further
performances of the same piece with the Philharmonie in Cologne. Müller also
will sing Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem in Zürich, Beethoven’s Missa solemnis with
the Munich Philharmonic under Philippe Herreweghe, Berg’s Sieben frühe Lieder
in Helsinki, and Dvořák’s
Stabat mater in Dresden conducted by Marek Janowski. Additionally, she will
sing in the 2023 Christmas Concert at Frauenkirche Dresden, under the baton of
Christian Thielemann. The concert is streamed live by ZDF.
Last season, Müller made an auspicious role
debut as Eva in Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg with the Vienna State Opera,
where she was also heard as Contessa Almaviva in a new production of Le nozze
di Figaro and as Donna Anna in Barrie Kosky’s Don Giovanni. She saw further performances of Donna Anna at
the Bayerische Staatsoper and in Robert Carsen’s iconic production for La Scala
under Pablo Heras-Casado.
Operatic highlights of recent seasons include
her Metropolitan Opera debut as Marzelline in Fidelio, subsequently returning
for Susanna in Le nozze di Figaro and Pamina in The Magic Flute. Müller made
her debut at Zurich Opera in Idomeneo as Ilia, and sang Elettra in the same
opera at the Bayerische Staatsoper in a new production by Antú Romero Nunes.
From 2012-2016 she was a member of the ensemble of the Bayerische Staatsoper,
and has since become a favorite of the company, including on tours to Japan
(Pamina, Die Zauberflöte), Carnegie Hall New York (Sophie, Der Rosenkavalier)
and the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris.
Noteworthy concert performances include
Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 with the Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden led by
Christian Thielemann, Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 and Schumann’s Faust Scenes under
Daniel Harding with the Orchestre de Paris, Vier letzte Lieder with the
Staatskapelle Berlin, orchestral songs of Strauss with the WDR Symphony
Orchestra and Christoph Eschenbach, and Berg’s Sieben frühe Lieder with the
Berlin Philharmonic and Paavo Järvi.
A seasoned recitalist, Hanna-Elisabeth Müller
has performed at major venues such as Teatro alla Scala Milan, London’s Wigmore
Hall, the Heidelberger Frühling, Cologne Philharmonie, De Singel Antwerp, Teatro
de la Zarzuela Madrid, Schubertiada Vilabertran, and Festival Rheinvokal.
