KRISTINA WAHLIN

The talented young mezzo-soprano Kristina Wahlin is Swedish-born and studied singing at the Royal Music Academy in Stockholm, completing her musical education as an opera singer at the Royal Academy of Music in London, from which she graduated in 2000. She has sung Cherubino in Le nozze di Figaro and the title rôle in Handel’s Ariodante at Opera Funen in Denmark. Her performance of Ariodante made an exceptionally favourable impression on the critics and she was invited to return to sing the title rôle in Gluck’s Orfeo in 2004. She had great success as Isabella in a concert performance of L’Italiana in Algeri at the Tivoli Concert Hall in the summer of 2004, again to considerable critical acclaim. Kristina Wahlin has appeared as a soloist with several orchestras in Scandinavia, performing Bach, Mozart, Handel and Rossini. Since 2006 she has been a member of the soloist ensemble at Oper Köln, where her rôles include Rosina, Hänsel, Isabella, Nicklausse, Cherubino and Giulio Cesare.
