I am working on a way to describe here that I sing because I hope to touch at least someone in the audience in a way that makes them come closer to themselves. A communication heart to heart via musical tones. That has always been my aim along with somehow pointing at the beauty of life, and/or wrap the human challenges in beauty.
While I am working on my words to explain my why and my mission, the more traditional way of telling what an artist is up to in her career will have to suffice;
Maria Sanner is a Swedish contralto, working internationally as a singer in opera and concerts and in a repertoire ranging from early to contemporary music.
On the opera stage she has sung for example Orfeo in Gluck’s Orfeo ed Euridice, the title roles of Handel’s Giulio Cesare and Cavalli’s Il Giasone, 3rd Lady in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte as well as parts in many new operas.
She has guested stages like the Royal Opera in Stockholm, Opera North in Leeds, Operaverkstan at Malmö Opera, Drottningholm court theatre, Confidencen and more as well as festivals for early music like Opera Rara, Muzyka z Raju, Musikfestspiele Potsdam Sanssouci etc.
During spring -24 Maria sang the parts of Maria in Löftet and Die Alstimme in Parsifal at the Royal Opera in Stockholm.
As a concert singer Maria has an extensive repertoire and is especially appreciated as an oratorio singer. She also has a big love for chamber music and Lieder.
Maria has her education from the Royal College of music in Stockholm (soloist diploma) and University college of Opera in Stockholm (masters degree).
"Caesar's Act Two aria, with violin obbligato, /.../ was pure exuberant delight."

"Argenore /.../ framställdes av Maria Sanner med värdighet, nyansering och klangskönhet."
