ABOUT LINNEA

Swedish mezzo-soprano Linnea is recognised for her versatility across baroque, classical, and contemporary repertoire, with a particular strength in new music and character-driven roles. Recent and forthcoming engagements include Alidoro (La Cenerentola) for Malmö Opera, Brigitte in Jenny Wilson’s Älskarinnorna at Norrlandsoperan, Bradamante (Alcina) for Confidencen Opera & Music Festival, Andronico (Il Giustino) at Drottningholm Palace Theatre, and Vetenskapen in the newly written Ålevangeliet at Folkoperan Stockholm. She has also appeared in the world premieres of works by Karólína Eiríksdótter, João MacDowell, and Jonas Forssell.

Linnea made her debut at the Royal Swedish Opera in Der Rosenkavalier and has been a regular guest at Malmö Opera, including notable performances in Der Kaiser von Atlantis and Surprises de l’Enfer. A respected interpreter of early music, she was the first recipient of the Friends of Drottningholm Opera Scholarship, awarded by HM King Carl XVI Gustaf. She studied at the University College of Opera and the Royal College of Music in Stockholm.
