Kerstin
Avemo Soprano

The internationally acclaimed Swedish soprano Kerstin Avemo was most recently heard in 'L'incoronazione di Poppea' (Theater Basel), 'Die Fledermaus' (Tokyo), 'Giuditta' (Bavarian State Opera), 'Les Contes d'Hoffmann', the world premiere of 'Mythomania' and in 'Pierrot Lunaire', the latter under her own direction (Gothenburg). In 2002, she made her debut at the Gothenburg Opera in the role of Lulu, which earned her prizes from Svenska Dagbladet and Opernmagazin. She has been a member of the Gothenburg Opera ensemble since the 18/19 season. Other collaborations have taken her to the Hamburg State Opera ('La voix humaine'), the Royal Swedish Opera (including 'Pelléas et Mélisande', 'Rigoletto' and 'Die Zauberflöte') as well as the Grand Théâtre de Genève, the Royal Danish Opera, the Deutsche Oper am Rhein, the Theater an der Wien, the Bolshoi Theatre, the Bregenz Festival, the Festival d'Aix-en-Provence and the Wiener Festwochen. Her concert activities cover a broad spectrum from contemporary music to baroque. Kerstin Avemo sang the world premiere of Hosokawa's 'Futari Shizuka' with the Ensemble intercontemporain at the Philharmonie de Paris Cité de la musique in 2017 and has since performed at the Kölner Philharmonie, the Kaufman Concert Hall in New York and the Suntory Hall in Tokyo. Kerstin Avemo was honoured with the Litteris et Artibus Medal by King Carl XVI Gustaf in 2016 for her outstanding achievements as an opera singer.
