Lise Davidsen Makes History as First Scandinavian to Sign with Decca Classics Since Birgit Nilsson
Norwegian operatic soprano Lise Davidsen, renowned for her exceptional voice, has made history by becoming the first Scandinavian artist to sign with Decca Classics since legendary Swedish soprano Birgit Nilsson. The 36-year-old, born in 1987, has a remarkable career trajectory that spans various genres and prestigious stages.
Davidsen's journey began at the age of 15 when she started singing, initially favoring popular, jazz, and soul genres. Her talent led her to complete her Bachelor's degree at Grieg Academy of Music in Bergen, and later, she graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Music and Opera Academy in Copenhagen. Her debut recording, released in May 2019, featured arias by Wagner and Strauss, marking her entry into the classical music scene.
In 2021, Davidsen released her second album with the London Philharmonic Orchestra under Sir Mark Elder. Her third album, dedicated to Edvard Grieg, followed in 2022. The Telegraph has praised her unique voice, describing it as 'a voice in a million'.
Davidsen's impressive resume includes upcoming performances at the Metropolitan Opera with Michael Spyres, although specific dates and locations are yet to be announced. In Europe, she is set to play roles like Leonora, but no specific dates are given for these performances. She will also release a festive album titled 'Christmas From Norway' in November 2023.
Lise Davidsen, with her extraordinary voice and extensive training, continues to make waves in the classical music world. Her signing with Decca Classics and upcoming releases and performances are highly anticipated events in the musical calendar.
