Brigitte Jäger - Soprano

One of the successful german sopranos, with a voice of challenging beauty, broad range and power, considered one of the promising modern exponents of a rich repertoire. She studied at the Berlin University of the Arts. Her first steps led her to the Musik-Theatre Gelsenkirchen, where she made her debut as Composer / Ariadne auf Naxos, stayed in the cast and performed a.o. a successful Zdenka / Arabella until she moved to Bremerhaven, where she made her professional debut in several operas and operettas.

1997 she won the “Concorso Lirico Internazionale Iris Adami Corradetti” in Padua (Italy), as a result of this success she was invited by several italian Theatres (Padova, Cagliari, Novara, Savona a.o.). Her interpretation of Violetta / La Traviata gained her further acclaim among italian critics and audiences. She performed the four different soprano parts in Les contes d`Hoffmann in Ravenna, Ferrara and Lucca, and as Donna Anna / Don Giovanni in Savona, Imperia, Alessandria and La Spezia. In Novara she celebrated her debut as Leonora / Il Trovatore.

This production was followed by Der Kreidekreis (Zemlinsky) conducted by Alan Gilbert and produced by David Pountney also in Zurich. A next professional step led her to the Wiener Volksoper where she created a furore as Mimi / La Boheme and as Rosalinde / Die Fledermaus. In 2004/05 Brigitte Jäger returned to Germany and agreed to perform at the national Reisopera Netherland, singing again Rosalinde.
