Anna Virovlansky │ Soprano

Anna Virovlansky’s schedule in the 2013/14 season included new productions of Monteverdi’s Orfeo (Euridice) at the Bavarian State Opera Munich and Don Pasquale at the Leipzig Opera, as well as Musetta in Munich and Violetta in La Traviata in Leipzig. In 2014/15 her guest engagements included performances of Violetta in Düsseldorf, Norina in Heilbronn and Marzelline in Fidelio with Zubin Mehta at the Maggio Musicale in Florence. Future engagements include Ariadne auf Naxos at the Bavarian State Opera and a new production of Lucia di Lammermoor at the Leipzig Opera.

Between 2011 and 2013 Anna Virovlansky was a member of the ensemble at the Bavarian State Opera, where she sung roles such as Sophie in Der Rosenkavalier, Pamina, Adele and Marzelline in Fidelio. She enjoyed particular success with her debut as Giulietta in Les contes d’Hoffmann at the Munich Opera Festival in 2012.

The engagement in Munich was preceded by a 2-year contract at Düsseldorf’s Deutsche Oper am Rhein, where her repertoire included Musetta, Gilda, Pamina, the title role in Massenet’s Manon, as well as Argie in Rameau’s Les Paladins. The complete recording of this production is available on CD.

In the summer of 2010 Anna Virovlansky made her Glyndebourne Festival debut as Zerlina in Don Giovanni, which was highly acclaimed by audience and press alike. A DVD of this production is available on EMI Classics. In December 2010, she appeared for the first time at the Bavarian State Opera, in the role of Musetta. At Essen’s Aalto Theatre she sang Giulietta in concert performances of Bellini’s I Capuleti e i Montecchi.

In 2004 Anna Virovlansky was engaged at the opera house in Bonn, where she acquired a broad repertoire, including Sophie, Marzelline, Norina, Oscar and, most importantly, the lyric Mozart roles of Zerlina, Pamina and Susanna, which she also sung at Essen’s Aalto Theatre. In 2009 she sung Violetta for the first time.

Born in St. Petersburg, Anna Virovlansky studied voice with Agness Massini at the Rubin Academy in Jerusalem, and was accepted into the Israeli Opera Studio immediately upon completing her studies in the 2003/2004 season.

Anna Virovlansky first attracted attention when she won the Spring Voices Competition in Israel, in 2003. That same year, her success at the international singing competition Neue Stimmen in Gütersloh, Germany, led to her contract with the Bonn opera house. At the Belvedere Competition in Vienna, 2004, she was awarded an engagement at the theatre in Basel, as well as a special prize from the Professional Association of Opera Directors. She received the Förderpreis für hervorragende junge Künstler der Landesregierung Nordrhein-Westfalen 2006 (a study grant for outstanding young artists) and was nominated young artist of the year by the Opernwelt magazine in 2006.

She has also been the recipient of many prizes and awards, including the America-Israel Cultural Foundation (AICF), the IVAI, the Richard Wagner Association (2005), and has won several prizes from Israel’s Rubin Academy.
