Norwegian contralto Julie-Marie Sundal is acclaimed for her dark-hued timbre and exceptional vocal range, making her a sought-after artist both on the opera stage and in the concert and oratorio repertoire. Recent engagements have included L\u2019Opinion Publique in Offenbach\u2019s Orph\u00e9e aux enfers at Theater Aachen, H\u00e4nsel in Humperdinck\u2019s H\u00e4nsel und Gretel at the Hamburg State Opera, and alto soloist in Franz Schmidt\u2019s The Book with Seven Seals and Beethoven\u2019s Missa solemnis at the Berlin Philharmonie with the Philharmonischer Chor Berlin and the Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester Frankfurt under J\u00f6rg-Peter Weigle. She has also appeared in Mahler\u2019s Symphony No. 3, Puccini\u2019s Il trittico at the Hamburg State Opera, and numerous concert and oratorio projects.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2009, Sundal joined the International Opera Studio at Theater L\u00fcbeck, where, under the baton of Roman Brogli-Sacher, she performed Erda, Flosshilde, and Schwertleite in Anthony Pilavachi\u2019s award-winning production of Wagner\u2019s Ring des Nibelungen.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She subsequently became a member of the ensemble at the Nieders\u00e4chsisches Staatstheater Hannover, where from 2010 to 2019 she performed over fifty roles. These included Ottone (L\u2019incoronazione di Poppea), Baronin von G\u00fcnwiesel (Der junge Lord), Zita (Gianni Schicchi), Quickly (Falstaff), Mary (Der fliegende Holl\u00e4nder), the First Norn, Flosshilde, Schwertleite, and Erda (Ring des Nibelungen), Ulrica (Un ballo in maschera), Orlofsky (Die Fledermaus), Olga (Eugene Onegin), Sonjetka (Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk), and Hippolyta (A Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Her guest appearances have taken her to the Aalto Theatre Essen, Hamburg State Opera, Staatstheater N\u00fcrnberg, Theater Bremen, Theater L\u00fcbeck, Theater Koblenz, the Brandenburgisches Staatsorchester Frankfurt, and the Daegu Opera House in South Korea.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Equally in demand as a concert soloist, Sundal\u2019s repertoire includes oratorios by Bach, Handel, and Schumann (Ruth), Brahms\u2019s Alto Rhapsody, Mahler\u2019s Second and Third Symphonies, Stravinsky\u2019s Les Noces, Mozart\u2019s Requiem, and Oedipus Rex. A career highlight was performing Beethoven\u2019s Ninth Symphony in a benefit concert in Hong Kong, organized by Medart.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

She has collaborated with stage directors such as Sebastian Baumgarten, Michiel Dijkema, Dietrich Hilsdorf, Frank Hilbrich, Barry Kosky, Bal\u00e1sz Kovalik, Bernd Mottl, Benedikt von Peter, Anthony Pilavachi, and Floris Visser, and with conductors including Howard Arman, Wolfgang Bozic, Karen Kamensek, Roman Brogli-Sacher, Benjamin Reiners, Ivan Repu\u0161i\u0107, Mark Rohde, and Stefan Soltesz.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Julie-Marie Sundal studied voice and drama at Tonneheim Folkeh\u00f8gskole and the University of Stavanger (Norway), and at the University of Massachusetts (USA).<\/p>\n
