Annika Steinbach
Soprano
Annika Steinbach, born in Karlsruhe, developed her passion for singing in the internationally-acclaimed Villanella girls’ vocal ensemble, and at the time sang the role of one of the boys in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte in productions of the Badisches Staatstheater Karlsruhe. After her schooling at the Musikgymnasium Karlsruhe, she first studied music education at the city’s music university before completing vocal studies at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater Leipzig with Christina Wartenberg.
She received further inspiration from Margreet Honig, Thomas Heyer, and Regina Werner-Dietrich. At the music university she sang the role of Sophie Scholl in Peter Maxwell Davies’ Kommilitonen! and appeared as Mimì in Puccini’s La Bohème at szene12 Dresden. As part of the university’s interdisciplinary music theater project on Puccini’s Turandot, she sang the role of Liù and presented contemporary repertoire.
In addition to her concert career, she particularly enjoys devoting herself to experimental concert formats and projects in various formations and ensembles – in the broad concert field, in the world of opera, in the exciting interplay of contemporary and early music, and in the colorful lied repertoire (e.g. Passage to more than India at the Museum of Fine Arts Leipzig in 2016, The streetsinger is sick at the Galerie Hoch+Partner Leipzig in 2018, Italian Songbook – A Staged Collage Leipzig/Dresden in 2018, and Clomiri in Handel’s Imeneo at Flügelschlag Werkbühne e.V. starting in 2018).
Concert tours featuring children’s concert theater programs have led the international artist to Sweden, Hungary, Belarus and China. Steinbach resides as a freelance singer in Leipzig.
