Swedish mezzo Ann Hallenberg is a reg-ular guest at many of the world’s leading opera houses, including La Scala, the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, the Teatro Real in Madrid, the Theater an der Wien, the Zurich Opera, the Paris Opéra, the Opéra de Lyon, the Théâtre de la Monnaie in Brussels, the Dutch National Opera in Amsterdam, the Bavarian, Berlin and Dresden State Operas and the Royal Opera in Stockholm. Her repertoire features a large number of roles by Rossini, Mozart, Gluck, Massenet, Handel, Vivaldi and Monteverdi.
Also in demand as a concert artist, she has appeared in leading concert halls and at international festivals throughout Europe and North America. Her unusually wide-ranging concert repertoire extends from early 17th-century works by Monteverdi and Cavalli to Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, Berlioz, Brahms, Mahler and Chausson. But she is equally at home in 20th- and 21st-century works by Franz Waxman and Daniel Börtz, among others.
Among the conductors with whom Ann Hallenberg has worked are Fabio Biondi, Ivor Bolton, William Christie, Patrick Fournillier, John Eliot Gardiner, Emmanuelle Haïm, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Philippe Herreweghe, Paavo Järvi, Louis Langrée, Marc Minkowski, Christopher Moulds, Riccardo Muti, Kent Nagano, Roger Norrington, Antonio Pappano, Christophe Rousset, Lothar Zagrosek and Alberto Zedda.
Plans include performances at the Vlaamse Opera in Amsterdam, the Barbican Centre and Wigmore Hall in London, the Philharmonie de Paris, the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome, the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Salzburg Mozarteum, the Leipzig Gewandhaus, the Cologne Philharmonie, the Rotterdam Philharmonic, the Halle Handel Festival, the Karlsruhe Handel Festival, the Graz Musikverein and the Orquestra Gulbenkian in Lisbon.
Ann Hallenberg’s discography runs to more than 40 CDs and DVDs and includes works by Bach, Handel, Vivaldi, Mozart, Haydn, Gluck, Rossini, Mendelssohn, Brahms and Bruckner. In 2016 her solo album Agrippina won an International Classical Music Award in the Baroque Vocal category.
