After her debut in the soprano repertoire with the role of Contessa in Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro at the Klosterneuburg Festival in July 2011, Magdalena Anna Hofmann has just sung her first and highly acclaimed Kundry in new production of Wagner's Parsifal in Tallinn.
In February 2012, she performed Klementia in Hindemith's Sancta Susanna and Frau in Schönberg's Von heute auf morgen at Opéra de Lyon. Upcoming projects include Stella in Offenbach's Les Contes d´Hoffman, Hindemith's Mathis der Maler at the Theater an der Wien and Weinberg's The Passenger in Tel Aviv.
New soprano roles in preparation include Beethoven's Fidelio, Marie in Berg's Wozzeck, Dvorak's Rusalka, Santuzza in Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana, Ariadne in Ariadne auf Naxos by Strauss as well as Wagner's Sieglinde (Die Walküre) and Elisabeth (Tannhäuser).
Magdalena Anna Hofmann was born in Warsaw and studied singing at the Vienna Conservatory.
During her early career as mezzo soprano engagements included Dorabella in Così fan tutte in Berndorf, Isabella in Suppé's Boccaccio in Vienna, Nancy in Flotow's Martha in Vaduz, Cherubino in Le nozze di Figaro, Frau Reich in Nicolai's Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor and Magdalena in Fürst's Catalina Homar at Stadttheater Baden, where she could also be heard as Manja in Kálmán's Gräfin Mariza, including a tour through Japan.
Other engagements include Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni, Sorceress in Dido and Aeneas at the Vienna Concert Hall, Orpheus in Gluck's Orpheus und Eurydike at Steyr Festival (Austria), Janacek's Tagebuch eines Verschollenen, Lapak in The Cunning Little Vixen, Eleonore in Offenbach's Blaubart at the Bregenz Festival and various new productions at Vienna Kammeroper.
She also is much experienced in the Contemporary Music repertoire, having sung leading roles in operas by Nigel Osborne, Einojuhani Rautavaara, Michael Tippett, Hans Werner Henze and Peter Maxwell Davies at, among others, the Vienna Klangbogen and Stadttheater Klagenfurt.
Magdalena Anna Hofmann has established a long-term relationship with the Theater an der Wien and the Vienna Festival, having performed in numerous new productions such as Henze's Phaedra (title role), Margret in Wozzeck, Glasa in Janacek's Kat'a Kabanová and most recently in Poulenc's Les dialogues des Carmélites under the baton of Bertrand de Billy, with whom she could also be heard in concerts with works by Beethoven.
Recently, in 2009 and 2010, she gave her house debuts both at Opéra de Lyon and at Teatro alla Scala in Milan with Peter Stein's production of Berg's Lulu. The same production was also shown at Theater an der Wien, again with Magdalena Anna Hofmann as Gymnasiast and Groom. Other recent engagements include Chantal in Eötvös' Le Balcon at Opéra de Bordeaux, Venus in Tannhäuser at Oper Bonn and Liszt's Die Legende der heiligen Elisabeth at the Theater an der Wien.
