About Anna

Winner: Opus Klassik Female Singer of the Year 2024

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 24/25 season include Zabelle (George Benjamin's Picture a Day Like This) conducted by the composer for Opéra Comique; Mozart's Requiem in Romeo Castellucci's staged production for Gran Teatre del Liceu; Fiordiligi (Mozart's Così fan tutte) with the Montréal Symphony Orchestra; and a new opera, Lash, by Rebecca Saunders at the Deutsche Oper Berlin.

On the concert platform, Anna performs Handel's Messiah with the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi; Haydn's Creation with the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra; Mozart's Exsultate Jubilate with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin; and Rufus Wainwright's Dream Requiem with the Orquestra Simfònica de Barcelona i Nacional de Catalunya.

She also appears as a 24/25 season Spotlight Artist for the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and tours her projects Ophelia with Eric Schneider and Paradise Lost with Julius Drake across Europe.

Anna is based in Berlin

Projects

Anna Prohaska & Ensemble Resonanz

Star soprano Anna Prohaska and conductor Nicolas Ellis combine forces with Ensemble Resonanz to present a programme of 'Love and Betrayal', with music by Berg and Mozart. Mozart's 'Haffner' Symphony No. 35 serves as the backbone of the programme, and the performance intertwines encrypted love messages from Berg's 'Lyric Suite' with the dizzying emotional states expressed in many of Mozart's most famous arias, including from Le Nozze di Figaro and Cosi Fan Tutte.

  • CD Review - Picture a Day Like This (Zabelle)

    Nimbus Records
    Sep 2024
    • But there’s no mistaking the quality of the performances... Anna Prohaska provides the perfect foil as Zabelle...

    • ...while Anna Prohaska is Zabelle, who tends the garden in which the Woman finds, if not the miracle she is looking for, then a way of coming to terms with her loss. Both singers seem to inhabit their characters effortlessly... beneath her serenity, Prohaska manages to convey that Zabelle’s path to acceptance has not been an easy one.
