Anna Prohaska (Soprano)
Austrian soprano Anna Prohaska was born into a musical family Germany in 1983 and trained at the Hanns Eisler Academy in Berlin, where she made her debut (as Flora in Britten’s The Turn of the Screw) in 2002 and became a member of the Staatsoper in 2006 following a successful short-notice step-in as Frasquita in Carmen under Daniel Barenboim. She also works regularly with the Berliner Philharmoniker, with whom she premiered Wolfgang Rihm’s Mnemosyne in 2009. Prohaska focuses primarily on baroque and contemporary music, though her repertoire also includes Nannetta in Verdi’s Falstaff, Sophie in Der Rosenkavalier, Adele in Die Fledermaus and Anne Trulove in The Rake’s Progress.
