Since graduating from the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien and, subsequently, Opernstudio der Wiener Staatsoper, the soprano Johanna Wallroth has swiftly built an impressive international career. She was formerly a student of dance at Kungliga Svenska balettskolan but came to international prominence in 2019 as First Prize winner at the renowned Mirjam Helin International Singing Competition, in Helsinki. She was awarded the prestigious Birgit Nilsson Scholarship in 2021, and went on to represent Sweden in the 2023 Cardiff Singer of the World competition. In demand on the opera stage, in the concert hall, and as a recitalist, she has made acclaimed débuts at Glyndebourne Festival Opera, as Cleopatra (Giulio Cesare), conducted by Laurence Cummings, Wiener Staatsoper, as Barbarina (Le nozze di Figaro), under Philippe Jordan, and Opernhaus Zürich (a ballet production conceived around Monteverdi’s madrigals). Following her highly praised Zerlina (Don Giovanni) with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra under Daniel Harding, she became Artist in Residence at Swedish Radio for two seasons. Among her concert highlights are performances of Barber’s Knoxville: Summer of 1915 with Sakari Oramo and the Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra, Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream with Daniele Rustioni and Opéra national de Lyon, Mozart’s Requiem with Barbara Hannigan and Orchestre philharmonique de Radio France, Schumann’s Das Paradies und die Peri with Daniel Harding and the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, and Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 with Klaus Mäkelä and both the Orchestre de Paris and Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra. Celebrated as a Lieder singer, Johanna Wallroth has performed with Magnus Svensson at the historic Birgit Nilsson Hall, in Båstad, Kristian Attila at the Savonlinna Opera Festival, and Malcolm Martineau at the Tivoli Festival, GöteborgsOperan, Helsinki Seriös, and Schubertíada, in Vilabertran.
