Anne Sofie von Otter

Internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Anne Sofie von Otter is renowned for her diversity and artistry. Her high-profile career spanning more than three decades has seen her perform at the world’s most important venues and festivals, and produced an unrivalled and multi award-winning discography for DG. Love Songs, a collaboration with legendary jazz pianist Brad Mehldau and the first disc as part of her new exclusive contract with Naïve, is followed in autumn 2011 by a recording of Les nuits d’été with Les Musiciens du Louvre-Grenoble and Marc Minkowski.

A diverse repertoire has played a key role in sustaining her international reputation as an operatic force. From an earlier repertoire heavily focused on the principle roles of Mozart, Handel and Strauss, Anne Sofie has in more recent years added more dramatic roles such as Carmen, Didon, Brangäne and Waltraute to her ever developing repertoire.
