Many of Petersen’s latest triumphs have been at the Bavarian State Opera, where last summer she was named Kammersängerin, designating a special relationship with the company - “an old title, but a lovely surprise,” she said. But before we get into those, lets quickly make an important point. “I thought,” he said, “there is a God in the theater, and he’s given us Marlis Petersen.” If youre just a beginner, and you want to start singing opera, you have a few options. She told him that if her character had been having sex all night, she would be starving. He recalled that in preparing the first act of “Der Rosenkavalier,” she began to eagerly eat a croissant when it was brought into the scene.

My gradma always loved Operas, shed listen to it very frequently around the house, I never really liked it, it bothered more than it should, but its not like Id do something about it. As a light coloratura soprano she sang roles like Ännchen in “Der Freischütz” and Oscar in “Un Ballo in Maschera.” Then, in 2003, she went freelance.īarrie Kosky, who directed her role debut as the Marschallin in “Der Rosenkavalier” at the Bavarian State Opera last season - a production she returns to this spring - said that in the rehearsal room, “there’s never anything less than 100 percent,” adding: “There may be marking high notes, but there’s no marking with acting.” This is very random, but its something I wanted to share, I guess. She joined the ensembles of houses in Nuremberg and Düsseldorf. She won the top prize in both, channeling Barbra Streisand in “Yentl” for her show tune.īut once she turned 25, she focused entirely on opera. She imitated the voices of the original singers, a skill that paid off later when she entered a competition with categories for classical repertory, then chansons and musical theater. “It was good training, because the nights were long and there was a bit of toughness involved,” Petersen said.
Opera singer training remains similar at all major institutions around the world. Petersen played keyboard and sang hits like Celine Dion’s “The Power of Love” and Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.” With a keyboardist colleague, she would do gigs that included performing “Starlight Express” on roller skates. Actors, opera singers, and musical theater performers know the scene. That happened when she studied voice in Stuttgart, financing her education in part by performing in a cover band called Square on weekends. “I didn’t understand anything,” Petersen said.
