" she is truly one of the most interesting young sopranos
of our time. " Bachtrach
Cornelia Beskow is a young Swedish operasinger known for her rich colored spinto soprano and thruthfull acting. She has mainly been working in Scandinavia, but just befor the pandemic struck she began her international career, singing Elsa in Lohengrin at the Wiener Staatsoper. Since then she has been singing in places like Opera di Roma, Hessishe Staatstheater, Polish National Opera, Prague National Theatre and more.
She just sang Ariadne and Primadonna in the new production of Ariadne auf Naxos in Tel Aviv, and Third Norn as well as Gutrune in Den Ny Opera's production of Götterdämmerung in Denmark.
Next up is Wesendock Lieder by Wagner with the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra and Alban Berg's Sieben frühe Leider with Turku Philharmonic Orchestra.
From Opera Now's HOT LIST 2022:
"Swedish dramatic soprano in-the-making Cornelia Beskow was on the brink of great things before Covid struck, so it is heartening to see a performer with such potential picking off where she left off with appearances in the titel role of Jenůfa at the Norwegian Opera this spring, not long after she sang Sieglinde at the Royal Swedish Opera. In her voice's sheer presence and tonal lustre, there are shades of Beskow's Royal Danish Opera Academy classmate, the already stellar Lise Davidsen."
