The mezzo soprano Loré Lixenberg
is a performer of spectacular intensity and expressiveness. The
warmth, range and agility of her voice impress just as much as her
total absorption in any role.
Her rich experience in the area of music
theatre includes performing the lead role in Bent Sørensen's
opera Under Himlen at the prestigious Royal Opera House in Copenhagen.
She performed in Weill's The Firebrand of Florence alongside Thomas
Hampson at the Konzerthaus in Vienna and at the Salzburg Festival
she sang in Guy Vivier's Marco Polo with Klangforum Wien. She has
also sung Miss Donnithorne in Peter Maxwell Davies' Miss Donnithorne's
Maggot at the Almeida Theatre and Mrs Green in Birtwistle's Down
by the Greenwood Side. She has performed throughout Europe at numerous
festivals including Wien Modern, Oslo's Ultima and the festivals
in Lucerne, Edinburgh, Witten, Donaueschingen and Aldeburgh.
Loré Lixenberg has performed as soloist
with several distinguished orchestras and ensembles including BBC
Symphony Orchestra, Danish National Symphony Orchestra, Klangforum
Wien, BCMG, Cikada, Ensemble Aventure and Apartment House. She regularly
performs as part of a trio with pianist Rolf Hind and violinist
David Alberman. Together with pianist Joanna MacGregor she featured
in the BBC2 television series Strings, Bows and Bellows, and with
performance artist Simon Munnery in the avantgarde comedy series
Attention Scum, also on BBC2. In the autumn of 2004 she featured
in the documentary What made Mozart tick, broadcast by Channel 4.
Her performance of Cage's Aria at a BBC
Symphony Orchestra concert in London in January 2004 was rapturously
received by audience and critics alike (see Reviews). In early 2005
Loré Lixenberg was the soloist in Stuart MacRae's Two Scenes
from the Death of Count Ugolino for voice and ensemble in performances
with BCMG in Lisbon and Birmingham.
Loré Lixenberg sang the main operatic
role in Richard Thomas' award-winning Jerry Springer - The Opera
at the Edinburgh Festival, the National Theatre and in London's
West End as well as on the subsequently released CD. She is due
to star in six comedy operas commissioned from Richard Thomas by
BBC television, which are scheduled to be broadcast in 2006.
In March 2005 British newspaper The Guardian
featured a portrait of Loré Lixenberg in its arts section.
