Welcome
London-based soprano, Birgit Beer, grew up in Vienna, and has performed at all the major opera houses in Europe.
Her major roles have included Zerbinetta (Ariadne auf Naxos), Rosina (Barber of Seville), Traviata (La Traviata), Pamina (Magic Flute), Marzelline (Fidelio) and Valencienne (Merry Widow).
After years on a world stage, Birgit now prefers smaller, more intimate audiences, enjoying the personal contact and singing from a wide range of musical genres.
Forthcoming Events
“Birgit Beer is a kittenish, flirtatious Rosina, a cute blond brat with a large rose at her bosom which gives off only the faintest hint of thorns...Her glowing soprano with its softly rising high notes repeatedly provoked spontaneous ovations, and her coloratura notes seemed to bounce off a solid air cushion as if it was a trampoline.”
MÜNCHNER MERKUR – Il Barbiere di Siviglia (Rosina)
“Birgit Beer personified the pert, snappish Giacomina down to her fingertips – she remained convincing throughout as she flirted and dramatized, seduced and enchanted.”
ONLINE MUSIC MAGAZINE - Il Maestro di Musica (Auletta/Pergolesi)
“On a vocal level, Birgit Beer's lyric soprano is simply outstanding, especially in the weightless stratospheres.”
WESTFÄLISCHE RUNDSCHAU, Der Rosenkavalier (Sophie)
“...while the magnificent Birgit Beer is a naturally graceful Pamina, and one whose performance never becomes stilted.”
GENERAL ANZEIGER BONN – Die Zauberflöte (Pamina)
”Birgit Beer's Micaela was second to none - the singer mastered the part naturally and with a multi-faceted, expressive soprano that remained confident also during the high notes.”
ORPHEUS, Carmen (Micaela)
The flexibility of her voice is amazing... the soprano impresses with her versatility. She first proves to have Cherubim Mezzo's qualities, and then, as the Figaro Countess, she transfers to a youthfully dramatic soprano.
More a Zerlina voice type, she proves herself with the dramatic role of Donna Anna with the wonderful coloraturas in “Non mir dir, bell idol mio” (…) Norina from Don Pasquale and the title role of the rarely performed Donizetti opera Linda the Chamounix seem to have been written for Birgit Beer – her voice does not have any boundaries! (…) And to make sure she does not get bored during the famous Rossini Barber Cavatine, she incorporates breakneck tricks into the already arduous aria. But Birgit Beer also knows how to handle a serious part like Violetta from Verdi's La Traviata, (…) by taking the cantabile very simple, she gives the Violetta a heart-warming innocent touch.
