Live and act

After graduating from high school, Huber studied singing, acting and dance at the Bavarian Theater Academy August Everding in Munich from 2006 to 2010 . In the early years of her career, she was temporarily active as a musical singer. In 2010 she made her debut as Maureen in Jonathan Larson's rock musical Rent at the Deutsches Theater in Munich. This was followed by further musical engagements at the Hamburger Operettenhaus , at the Zürcher Theater 11 and from October 2011 on tour in numerous German cities - in the roles of Duchess Ludovika and Mrs. Wolf in the musical Elisabeth by Michael Kunze and Sylvester Levay .

In 2013 she switched from musical to classical soprano. In 2015 she completed her master's degree at the Zurich University of the Arts and was hired at the opera studio of La Scala in Milan , where she made her debut in September 2016 as the first lady in Mozart's opera Die Zauberflöte under the conductor Ádám Fischer . At the Theater für Niedersachsen in 2017 she took on the female lead of Agathe in Carl Maria von Weber's romantic opera Der Freischütz .

In September 2018 she made her debut as an operetta diva at the Vienna Volksoper in the role of Sylva Varescu in a neru production of the Kálmán operetta Die Csárdásfürstin (directed by Peter Lund ) under the musical direction of Alfred Eschwé , for which she received very good reviews. The Austrian daily Der Standard wrote: “Elissa Huber depicts the title role as a real, multi-faceted being. Her vaudeville queen Sylva Varescu is fiery, proud, sloppy, drunk and modern. "

In the summer of 2019, she sang Lisa in the Lehár operetta The Land of Smiles at the Mörbisch Seefestspiele . In the 2019/20 season she took on the role of Rosalinde in a new production of the Strauss operetta Die Fledermaus at the Graz Opera, moving "between excess and honesty" .
