Elsa Dreisig

Career Trajectory

Elsa Dreisig emerged as a significant lyric soprano voice in European opera following her victory at Operalia, The World Opera Competition, which established her credentials among the continent's most promising young singers. Since that breakthrough, she has secured principal engagements at the Berlin State Opera, Paris Opera, and Bavarian State Opera, where her luminous soprano and interpretive intelligence have made her a sought-after interpreter of Mozart, Verdi, and Massenet. Her repertoire—anchored by roles such as Susanna, Pamina, Violetta, and Manon—positions her as a central figure in the contemporary lyric soprano repertoire.
