Elsa Dreisig is rapidly establishing herself as one of today’s most captivating lyric sopranos.
Since joining the studio of the Berlin State Opera in 2015 and going on to become an ensemble member, she has made role debuts at leading houses across Europe, from Paris to Zurich, from Vienna to London. As an exclusive recording artist with the label Erato, Elsa in January 2022 released her third album, “Mozart x 3”, featuring arias from W.A. Mozart’s three Da Ponte operas and three opere serie and will release her album “Invocation” in May 2026.
“My ultimate goal is to make the score heard: with a solid technique – that goes without saying – but also a body that can recreate the character in the flesh.”
Recent season highlights include multiple appearances with the Bayerische Staatsoper including Le nozze di Figaro (Contessa), Il Trittico (Lauretta/Ein Liebespaar), and a European tour performing Mahler’s 4th Symphony. She also returned to Deutsche Staatsoper Berlin in Mitridate as Sifare, the Grand Theatre de Geneve for performances of Roberto Devereux, Maria Stuarda (Elisabetta) and Anna Bolena (title role), Wiener Staatsoper in Carmen (Micaëla), Aix-en-Provence Festival for Louise, Teatro Real Madrid and Salzburg Festival for Mitridate, re di Ponto (Sifare), Theater an der Wien in Das paradies und die Peri (Soprano -Peri), Hamburgische Staatsoper as Manon as well as a European tour with Il Pomo d’Oro as the title role in Alcina.
