Anna Stéphany
Mezzo-Soprano
Anglo-French mezzo-soprano Anna Stéphany has been praised for her stage-craft and “a superb, glowing, impassioned” voice. Anna was a member of the ensemble at the Opernhaus Zurich for 2012-15, where her roles have included Charlotte Werther, Romeo I Capuleti e i Montecchi, Hansel Hansel und Gretel and Idamante Idomeneo. As Octavian Der Rosenkavalier she has appeared at the Bolshoi Theatre, Royal Swedish Opera and the Royal Opera House, as Le Prince Charmant Cendrillon in her company debut at the Opéra National de Paris, under the baton of Carlo Rizzi, and as Sesto Giulio Cesare at the Glyndebourne Festival in David McVicar’s acclaimed production.
In the 2022-23 season Anna returns to the role of Cherubino Le nozze di Figaro for her house debut at the Semperoper Dresden and in a new production for the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. She will also sing Irene Theodora with Arcangelo, Messiah with the Royal Liverpool Phiharmonic, and reprise the role of Sesto La Clemenza di Tito for Opera de Rouen.
