=====================
"Soprano Mari Eriksmoen received widespread acclaim for her role debut as Debussy’s Mélisande in the complex and intense staging by Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Damien Jalet and Marina Abramović for Opera Vlaanderen, including ​“her French diction was faultless, her voice like crystal, and she embodies the hypnotizing fragility of this heroine to perfection” (Forum Opéra). Having reprised the role meanwhile in further performances at Grand Théâtre de Genève and Grand Théâtre de Luxembourg, Eriksmoen will appear again in Pelléas et Mélisande this season at Teatro de la Maestranza, Sevilla.

Norwegian-born Eriksmoen completed her studies in Oslo (Norwegian Academy of Music), Paris (Conservatoire National Superieur) and Copenhagen (Royal Danish Academy of Opera) before being immediately launched into her professional career in 2010 by an invitation to debut as Zerbinetta in a new staging by Harry Kupfer of Ariadne auf Naxos, conducted by Bertrand de Billy at Vienna’s Theater an der Wien. Those performances marked the beginning of a regular presence on the historic Vienna stage, returning as Olympia (Les contes d’Hoffmann), Euridice (Monteverdi’s L’Orfeo), Servilia (La clemenza di Tito), Agilea (Handel’s Teseo), and as Susanna, Zerlina and Fiordiligi in the Da Ponte Trilogy conducted by the late Nikolaus Harnoncourt.

Productions elsewhere include Die Entführung aus dem Serail (Blondchen) at Oper Frankfurt, Glyndebourne Festival Opera and at the BBC Proms, La Fée in Damiano Michieletto’s production of Cendrillon at Komische Oper Berlin under Henrik Nanasí, Waldvogel in Daniel Barenboim’s epic Ring Cycles at Teatro alla Scala, Le nozze di Figaro (Susanna) and Der Rosenkavalier (Sophie) at Den Norske Opera, Pamina in Simon McBurney’s acclaimed staging of Die Zauberflöte at Festival d’Aix-en-Provence, Dutch National Opera and Opernhaus Zürich and, most recently, her first Donna Anna (Don Giovanni) in a semi-staging with Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Daniel Harding."; harrisonparrott
