GITTA-MARIA SJÖBERG
has an incredible soprano voice, which has made her a highly cherished and wanted guest singer all over the world. Her versatility is extraordinary. She masters both lyric and highly dramatic parts giving her characters sublime inner life and complexity. Her range covers a broad repertoire of roles such as Tosca, Madame Butterfly, Mimi, Desdemona, Amelia, Leonora, Arabella, Sieglinde, Brangaene, Rusalka, Katerina Ismailova, Kostelnicka and Emilia Marty. For the latter, she was named singer of the year by leading German critics. Recently she was invited to open the Janácek Festival in Brno in the role of Emilia Marty in “Vec Makropulos”, and the reviews were overflowing with success. The performance was recorded and was aired in The European Radio, on Czechish TV and the show was awarded first prize for the best production of an opera in Czech Republic. In 2017 and 2018 she sang the role of “The Mother” in the premiere of Louise Alenius’ successful opera “Silent Zone” at the Copenhagen Opera Festival. G.-M. Sjöberg received her education from the Opera Academy in Copenhagen where she was trained and coached by the great Finnish bass singer and professor Kim Borg. Nowadays she is often also asked to sit in jury’s for young singers competitions and big foundations. For 10 years already she shares her experiences and teaches many masterclasses every year around the world, invited to teach at festivals, Music Academy’s and Opera-Academy’s Studios for young promising talents who benefit from her coaching and large experience. Among her many masterclasses in 2019 she coached the Singers in the Nordic Masterclass for conductors and singers with the South Jutland Symphony Orchestra and Jorma Panula. The large interest she has for lieder and songs inspired her to establish a new festival in Sweden called “Nordic Song Festival”, which had its successful opening in the summer of 2014. The festival consists of a mix of masterclasses, concerts and artistic research. Nordic Song Festival is growing with great success and she bids you “Welcome to Nordic Song Festival in Trollhättan, Sweden in August 9 – 17 2019!” Among her many records and publications, you’ll find “Verdi & Puccini Arias”, “15 Songs by Gustaf Fröding” and “Nordic Winter Christmas Songs”. Her portrayal of the demonic and yet tragic role of Kostelnicka at Malmö Opera’s rendition of Jenufa in 2011 was praised by Opera News as one of the best ever made and is available on DVD from ArtHaus Musik. In the spring of 2019 a new recording of Russian and Danish Songs with the Russian pianist Polina Fradkina was released. Since March 2013 G.-M. Sjöberg is the Chairman of the Birgit Nilsson Society. She has received many awards, a. o. the Birgit Nilsson Award and has been Knighted by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark giving her the title of Knight of Dannebrog first grade.
