Natalie Hernborg /Soprano
From the first moment that soloist Natalie Hernborg enters the stage, she completely owned the audience. Her soprano combines everything needed of a modern opera singer: wonderful carrying voice, charm, stage presence and secure feel for performance. Ann-Britt Wickström, mvt.se
Swedish soprano Natalie Hernborg (b.1982), born and raised in Stockholm, began her musical education with piano lessons at the age of six. In 2003 Natalie began her studies at The Academy of Music and Drama of The Gothenburg University, at first within the undergraduate program, followed by postgraduate studies, receiving her diploma in 2008.
While she was still a student Natalie was engaged by the Karlstad opera for Joanna in Sweeney Todd and Knappe/Blumenmädchen in Parsifal. In student productions she has performed a.o. Tiny (Paul Bunyan), Serpina (La Serva Padrona), Monica (The Medium) and Fredrika (A Little Night Music). Natalie has also fully prepared the roles of Nedda (I Pagliacci – Leoncavallo) and Rosina (Il Barbiere di Siviglia – Rossini), a role she rehearsed and covered at the Gothenburg Opera.
In spring 2008 Natalie made her official debut at the Malmö Opera as Lisa in Bellini’s La Sonnambula with Arnold Östman conducting. Later the same year she was Valencienne in Folkoperan’s The Merry Widow in Stockholm. In spring 2009 she returned to Malmö Opera to sing the part of Gabrielle in Offenbach’s La Vie Parisienne. In autumn 2009 she received great acclaim in the world premiere of Daniel Börtz’s opera Goya at the Gothenburg opera, where she sang the double role of Countess Chinchon/Rosario, Goya’s stepdaughter. In spring 2010 she sang her first Blanche de la Force (Dialogues des Carmélites) at Malmö Opera.
Last season Natalie was engaged as Marguerite in Folkoperan’s production of Faust as well as Woglinde, Helmwige and Waldvogel in Karlstad Opera’s complete production of Wagner’s Der Ring des Nibelungen. Upcoming engagements include Sister Blanche de la Force in Poulenc’s Dialogues des carmélites at the Stockholm Royal Opera and Frasquita at Norrlandsoperans new production of Carmen.
