Danish soprano Trine Møller is being noticed for her intense stage presence, warm musicality, and deeply moving interpretations. Originally trained as a lyric mezzo-soprano, she studied at the Royal Academy Opera School and the National Opera Studio in London, as well as the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen. Her journey as a singer has seen her evolve into a powerful and versatile performer moving in the field between spinto and dramatic soprano, and taking on some of the most demanding roles in the operatic repertoire.
Trine made her soprano debut in 2018 as Tosca in Puccini’s ’Tosca’ at Slotsoperaen, Denmark. In 2019, she portrayed Turandot in Puccini’s ’Turandot’ at the Immling Festival in Germany, a role she has later also performed at Theater Magdeburg. Her breakthrough came in 2022 when she debuted as Brünnhilde in Wagner’s ’Die Walküre’ at the Royal Danish Opera, a performance that earned her the prestigious ‘Singer of the Year’ award from the Danish Reumert Prize committee. She has since performed Brünnhilde in ’Der Ring des Nibelungen’ at Theater Basel, adding Brünnhilde in Siegfried and Götterdämmerung, and is set to sing her first complete Ring there later this year. Trine has also received high praise for her role debut as Elektra in Strauss’s ’Elektra’ at Theater Lübeck in Brigitte Fassbaender’s acclaimed production, and her house debut as Abigaille in Verdi’s ’Nabucco’ at Theater Köln. Next year Trine will make her house debut at Deutsche Oper Berlin as Brünnhilde in ’Die Walküre’.
Before transitioning to soprano roles, Trine Møller built a distinguished career as a mezzo-soprano. She made her Royal Danish Opera debut in David McVicar’s production of Monteverdi’s ’L’incoronazione di Poppea’, performing the roles of Amore and Valetto. Her performance earned her the Reumert Talent Award. Other notable roles at the Royal Danish Opera include Rosmira in Handel’s ’Partenope’, Cherubino in Mozart’s ’Le nozze di Figaro’, Olga in Tchaikovsky’s ’Eugene Onegin’, and Mercedes in Bizet’s ’Carmen’. Internationally, she has also sung the mezzo roles of Angelina in Rossini’s ’La Cenerentola’ and Idamante in Mozart’s ’Idomeneo’ at Tiroler Landestheater in Innsbruck, and Olga in ’Eugene Onegin’ at Oper Leipzig. She has also portrayed Kundry in Wagner’s ’Parsifal’ at the Rued Langgaard Festival.
Throughout her career, Trine Møller has been recognized with many prizes, including the Lucille Graham Award, the Axel Schiøtz Prize, the Elisabeth Dons Memorial Scholarship, and the Aalborg Opera Prize.
