If one lists the great voices of our time in the classical-romantic repertoire, the Finnish Camilly Nylund (*1968) must not be missing. After permanent engagements in Hanover and Dresden, the Vaasa-born soprano is celebrated worldwide above all for her (title) roles in works by Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss: Elisabeth - with this Tannhäuser role she made her Bayreuth Festival debut in 2011 -, Elsa, Sieglinde, Arabella, Ariadne or Salome are among her repertoire, which has since taken her to Vienna, New York, Milan, Munich, Berlin, Salzburg or Zurich.
In recognition of her artistic achievements, Nylund has received national and international awards, including the appointment as Saxon Chamber Singer in 2008, the Pro Finlandia Medal (2013), the Finnish State Prize for Music in 2019 and the appointment as Austrian Chamber Singer in the same year.
