2024 Opus Klassik Female Singer of the Year, the Austrian-English soprano Anna Prohaska, made her debut aged 18 at Berlin’s Komische Oper as Flora in Britten’s The Turn of the Screw and soon after with the Staatsoper Unter den Linden Berlin, entering the ensemble at age 23. She has since gone on to have an extraordinary international career with some of the world’s greatest opera houses and orchestras.
Plans for the 25/26 season include the Governess Turn of the Screw directed by Deborah Warner for Opera Roma; Ismène Antigone in Pascal Dusapin's world premiere conducted by Klaus Mäkelä; a return to Zabelle in George Benjamin's Picture a day like this at the Teatro di San Carlo; and Susanna The Marriage of Figaro with the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal and at the Liceu Barcelona.
On the concert platform, Anna will join the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, who she appeared with as a Spotlight Artist in the 24/25 season, for their European tour performing Mahler 4; she will also reunite with Sir Simon Rattle for performances of Henze's Floß der Medusa with the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks.
The season sees Anna perform with the Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France; the Varian Fy Ensemble of the Berlin Philharmonic; and the Phantasm Viol Consort. She will also continue to tour Kurtág's Kafka Fragmente with violinist Isabelle Faust.
She made her debut at the Gran Teatre del Liceu in the 2024/25 season with Requiem.
