French soprano Elsa Dreisig today is a beneficiary of the Liz Mohn Culture and Music Foundation at the Staatsoper Berlin’s International Opera Studio and a member of the Opéra-Théâtre de Clermont-Ferrand. In 2015 she won second prize in the Queen Sonja international music competition in Norway and since then singer can often be found performing at song recitals and concerts. Her Fiordiligi debut in Berlin was abruptly canceled due to the pandemic restrictions this spring. Eager to get back to work, Elsa Dreisig is offered to bring this role on stage in the 100th Salzburg festival this summer. W. A. Mozart‘s Cosi Fan Tutte staged by Christof Loy was an unexpected new project, uniting such singers as Marianne Crebassa, Andre Schuen, Bogdan Volkov, Lea Desandre and Johannes Martin Kränzle. In the interview soprano Elsa Dreising elaborates on the rehearsing process of Cosi Fan Tutte during the times of pandemic, her approach to Fiordiligi, and her take on opera singer‘s life today.
