Robin Johannsen
Biography
Soprano Robin Johannsen moved to Europe early in her career and worked there with many of the top conductors who focus on Baroque opera. She is especially closely associated with René Jacobs and the Freiburger Barockorchester. Johannsen was invited by conductor Christian Thielemann to perform at the Bayreuth Festival, where she appeared in Wagner's Tannhäuser and then, for five seasons, in Siegfried. After making her debut on a 2006 recording of Leonard Bernstein's Candide, she was heard three years later on a complete cycle of Wagner's Ring operas conducted by Thielemann. Johannsen made her solo recording debut in 2014 with the recital Caldara: In dolce amore. In 2020, Johannsen was heard on a recording of Telemann's opera Miriways with the Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin. In 2022, she appeared on Jacobs' successful and unorthodox recording of Bach's Mass in B minor, BWV 232, with the Freiburger Barockorchester.
