Praised for her “magnetic stage presence” and her “dramatic intensity” by Opera News, Ukranian-American soprano Anastasiya Roytman is quickly establishing herself as one of the most exciting talents in the international opera world today. Possessing a “prodigious range” (L. Lerhman), Ms. Roytman began her career as a mezzo-soprano before recently moving into soprano repertoire. Upcoming engagements include Frau in VOM FISCHER UN SYNER FRU (Schoeck) and scenes from SALOME with Opera Sakrale (Berlin and Hamburg, Germany), and a concert tour with the Copenhagen Philharmonic Orchestra. This season she joins the Danish Philharmonic in a tour throughout Denmark.
