Aga Mikolaj

A pupil of the late Dame Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Aga Mikolaj’s core repertoire focuses on the leading Mozart ladies - Countess, Pamina, Fiordiligi, Donna Elvira - which she coached with her teacher, particularly hailed for those roles.  Equally at ease with the key lyric soprano roles and Richard Strauss’ in particular, the artist is frequently praised for her silvery vocal quality and seamless legato line.

In the current season Aga Mikolaj debuts with the Los Angeles Philharmonic conducted by Gustavo Dudamel as Donna Elvira, returns to Munich’s Bayerische Staatsoper as Freia in a new production of Das Rheingold conducted by Kent Nagano and makes her role debut as Donna Anna at the New National Theatre in Tokyo with Enrique Mazzola. In addition to further performances as Micaëla (Carmen) in Munich, Mikolaj returns to Berlin to sing Das Rheingold with Daniel Barenboim and further broadens her concert repertoire with Verdi’s Messa da Requiem with the Malmö Symphony Orchestra.
