Martin Vanberg /Tenor
Swedish tenor Martin Vanberg was born in 1979 and has received his musical training at The Royal College of Music in Stockholm and at The Royal Danish Opera Academy in Copenhagen.
Martin’s high and impressively agile tenor voice often wins him engagements for sacred and early music. In Kansas, USA, Martin has sung Handel’s The Messiah as well as the Evangelist and tenor arias in Bach’s S:t Matthew passion with a. o. HåkanHagegård as a fellow soloist. He has sung Bach’s Christmas Oratorio with Thomas Dausgaard, Bach cantatas in The Trinity Church in Copenhagen with Helmut Rilling, Haydn’s Die Schöpfung in Copenhagen, Handel’s Messiah in Gothenburg Concert Hall and Bach’s S:t John Passion in Melbourne Recital Centre with Stephen Layton. Other works in Martin’s repertoire are Mozart’s Requiem, Bach’s B-minor Mass and Haydn’s Die Jahreszeiten as well as the song cycles Die schöne Müllerin by Schubert, On this island and Winter Words by Britten, La bonne chanson by Fauré, An die ferne Geliebte by Beethoven and Hjärtats sånger by De Frumerie.
For The Vadstena Academy in Sweden he performed in Barockshop in 2005, in I natt, i natt (Tonight, tonight) in 2006, he sang Jonathan in Handel’s Saul in 2007 and Mr. Wickham in Pride and Prejudice in 2011.
In the summer of 2008 he sang L’humana fragilità and Pisandro in Monteverdi’s Il ritorno d’Ulisse in Patria at Drottningholm Court Theatre. Later that year he stepped in as Emilio in Handel’s Partenope with Concerto Copenhagen at the Royal Opera in Copenhagen.
Highlights of the 2009/2010 season were Martin’s performance as Male Chorus in Britten’s The Rape of Lucretia at the Royal Opera in Copenhagen and David and Elis in the world première of Nikolo Kotzev’s opera Joel for the inauguration of the new Culture Centre Alandia in Mariehamn on Åland. In 2011 Martin made his debut at The Gothenburg Opera as Oronte in Handel’s Alcina, directed by Yannis Houvardas.
The past season Martin has been engaged for multiple concerts in both Australia and throughout Europe. He was a finalist at 2011’s International Singing Competition for Baroque Opera in Innsbruck and will participate in Monteverdi’s Poppea at the Festival der alten Musik in the summer of 2012 in Innsbruck, Austria.
