Originally from Sweden, Soprano Lisa Larsson Commenced Her Career As Biography (complete version) Lisa Larsson 2013 | 2014 season. Last updated: August 2013 Swedish soprano Lisa Larsson started her career as a flautist and studied singing in Basel. Her first engagement was at the Zurich Opera House, where she performed under a number of conductors including Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Franz Welser-Möst. Following her debut at La Scala in Milan in ›The Magic Flute‹ under Riccardo Muti, she swiftly developed her international opera career, in particular as a Mozart singer performing parts such as Susanna, Pamina, Zaide, Zerlina, Servilia, Ilia, Fortuna and Ismene; other roles included Marzelline, Anne Trulove, Ännchen, Eurydice, Adele, Adina, Oscar, Xenia, Tytania, Polissena and Morgana. She accepted guest appearances at renowned European opera houses including the Bavarian State Opera, the Royal Opera House in London, the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, the Royal Danish Opera, the Opéra de Monte-Carlo, the Leipzig Opera, the Grand Théâtre de Genève, the Royal Swedish Opera and the Theater Basel as well as at the Salzburg Festival, the Lucerne Festival, the Glyndebourne Festival and the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence. Lisa Larsson is also a remarkably versatile concert singer of international renown. In recent years she has constantly expanded her broad repertoire with works by Mahler, Richard Strauss, Brahms, Berlioz, Britten and Stravinsky, and has performed in a number of world premieres of contemporary works. Conductors she has worked with include Claudio Abbado, Sir Colin Davis, Daniel Harding, Adam Fischer, Mikhail Pletnev, David Zinman, Antonello Manacorda, Lawrence Renes, Massimo Zanetti, Louis Langrée, Douglas Boyd, Juanjo Mena, Christian Arming, Andrew Manze, Stefan Solyom, Vassily Sinaisky and Edo de Waart. Lisa Larsson has performed with the Berlin Philharmonic, the Zurich Tonhalle Orchestra, the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra, the Munich Philharmonic, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France, the Orchestre National de Lyon, the Netherlands Philharmonic, the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, the Hong Kong Philharmonic, the NHK Symphony Orchestra (Tokyo), and other top orchestras. In the field of baroque music, she has often performed with leading conductors and their orchestras, including Sir John Eliot Gardiner, Sir Roger Norrington, Christopher Hogwood, Frans Brüggen, Andrea Marcon, Emmanuelle Haïm, Ton Koopman, Nathalie Stutzmann, Nicholas McGegan, Paul Goodwin, Martin Haselböck, Gottfried von der Goltz, Trevor Pinnock, Richard Egarr, Fabio Bonizzoni, Jan Willem de Vriend and David Stern. Highlights of her 2013/14 season include two CDs to be released by Challenge Classics: in autumn, a Haydn album with the Combattimento Consort Amsterdam under the direction of Jan Willem de Vriend, to be followed by a Berlioz programme with the Arnhem Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Antonello Manacorda in spring 2014. Both projects will be accompanied by concert tours. Several debuts are also planned: Lisa Larsson will make her first appearance with the Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo (Mozart Requiem under Nathalie Stutzmann) and the Dresden Philharmonic (›Four Last Songs‹ under Michael Sanderling) and she is invited by the Amici della Musica in Florence (Strauss songs with Andrea Lucchesini). She plans to continue her many years of collaboration with Antonello Manacorda by opening the season of the Kammerakademie Potsdam with Haydn's ›Creation‹, and with concerts in Milan with the Orchestra I Pomeriggi Musicali at which she will perform in a Haydn/Stravinsky programme. She has accepted her third invitation to appear with the Musikkollegium Winterthur and its Chief Conductor Douglas Boys and will perform in Mendelssohn's ›Hymn of Praise‹ at that occasion. This will be followed by a CD recording of the work. Accompanied by the Malmö SymfoniOrkester under its Chief Conductor Marc Soustrot, and as a German premiere under Ola Rudner with the Württembergische Philharmonie Reutlingen, she will sing the ›Orchestral Songs on Poems by Emily Dickinson‹ dedicated to her by her compatriot Rolf Martinsson. In chamber music projects, she plans to perform a new work – also created especially for her by the composer – with the Kreutzer Quartet at the Royal Academy in London and with the Rubens Quartet as a part of the International Chamber Music Series in Arnhem. As in last season's successful premiere at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo, she will return to the opera stage with Nathalie Stutzmann to sing in the Handel pasticcio ›Duello amoroso‹ in Bordeaux. Her substantial discography includes a recording of Strauss‘ ›Four Last Songs‹ under Douglas Boyd, Mahler’s Symphony No. 8 under David Zinman, the Mozart operas ›Don Giovanni‹ under Daniel Harding, ›Mitridate‹ under Adam Fischer, ›Il sogno di Scipione‹ under Gottfried von der Goltz, Händel‘s ›Jephta‹ under David Stern as well as numerous Bach Cantatas under Sir John Eliot Gardiner and Ton Koopman. With the latter she also recorded Bach’s Christmas and Easter Oratorio as well as the Magnificat. .
