Ann Hallenberg (born 17 March 1967) is a Swedish mezzo-soprano.[1] She has an operatic career on the stage and concert platform around Europe. She regularly appears in major opera houses and festivals: embracing roles by Rossini, Mozart, Gluck, Handel, Vivaldi, Monteverdi, and Purcell.[2]
Hallenberg studied at the Royal College of Music, Stockholm, with Kerstin Meyer and Erik Saedén; she undertook further study in London with Joy Mammen. Early roles included Fulgenzia in Il fortunato inganno by Donizetti at the Vadstena Academy in 1995[3] and Aristaeus in Rossi's Orfeo in Drottningholm in 1997,[4] returning in 2001 as Cornelia in Giulio Cesare.
The mezzo-soprano was made artist in residence at Drottningholm for 2019 and 2020, and decided on the repertoire; in the first year it was Ariodante conducted by Ian Page.[5] In 2021 she was appointed as Hovsångerska by the King of Sweden.[6]
^Opera – Volume 54 Page 555 2003 "The Swedish mezzo Ann Hallenberg was a rather severe, Ibsen-esque Charlotte, concentrating on plummy fullness of tone at the expense of words. At least she was allowed to sing the 'Air des Lettres' (brilliantly conducted by Fournillier) ..."
