Prizewinning Danish Dramatic Coloratura soprano Nina Sveistrup Clausen just made her role debut as Donna Anna at Mecklenburgisches Staatstheater in September 2024.

Nina is a frequent soloist at The Royal Opera in her native Copenhagen, where she has performed Queen of the Night (2020) in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte and the same role with Jyske Opera/The National opera in Arhus in 2023. Other roles at The Royal Danish Opera include modern opera such as Janine in P. Ruders: The Handmaid’s Tale (2022) and The Breadseller in Shostakovich: The Nose (2022). In 2018 Nina did a cover jump-in as the leading soprano in the rare romantic opera by Kuhlau: Lulu Og Den Magiske Fløjte.
In 2016 she received a “Præmiering” – a prize of outstanding artistry from the State Arts Foundation.
