biography

Training and first appearances

Elisabet Strid attended a music high school in Malmö, where her talent for classical singing was discovered and there were also opportunities to practice in the ensemble. At the age of 18 she began taking singing lessons from Karin Mang-Habashy, who prepared her for the entrance exam to the Stockholm Opera Academy. From 2000 to 2004 she studied singing with Christina Öquist-Matton. She gained her first stage experience with her debut at the Vadstena Academy as Byrgitta in the 2003 opera of the same name by Carl Unander-Scharin. After completing her studies, she worked at the Norrlandsoperan in Umeå , where she made her debut in 2005 as Liù in Turandot . She began her international work in 2007 as Sieglinde in Die Walküre at the Latvian National Opera in Riga .

Development as an opera singer

In addition to Dvořák's Rusalka and a few Puccini roles, her repertoire primarily consisted of youthful dramatic roles in operas by Richard Wagner. She made her debut at the Bayreuth Festival in 2013 as Freia in Das Rheingold . The further development as a Wagner interpreter led up to Brünnhilde in Siegfried . Then there were similar roles in operas by Richard Strauss, especially Salome since 2017 .
