Vita
Alina König Rannenberg studied at the Hochschule für Musik Carl Maria von Weber Dresden with Prof. Hendrikje Wangemann in the master's programme in opera after completing her bachelor's degree at the Hochschule für Musik Nürnberg with Elisabeth Kovacs. She received further musical impulses through master classes with Klesie Kelly, Christoph Prégardien and Juliane Banse. She was supported by the Theo Adam Scholarship in the Deutschlandstipendium programme and was a scholarship holder of the Giovanni Omodeo Foundation in 2023. While still studying for her Master's degree in Dresden, she made her house and role debut at the Leipzig Opera's Musikalische Komödie as Daisy Gray in Leo Fall's "The Dollar Princess". Further guest engagements have taken her to the Staatstheater Meiningen and the Staatsoperette Dresden. Alina König Rannenberg's operatic repertoire also includes the roles of Zerlina (Mozart's "Don Giovanni"), Ännchen (Weber's "Der Freischütz"), Die Witwe (Dominick Argento's "The Boor"), Mrs. Fiorentino (Kurt Weill's "Street Scene") and Cupido (Offenbach's "Orpheus in der Unterwelt"). The soprano has also performed as a solo soprano in Joseph Haydn's "Stabat Mater", W.A. Mozart's "Exsultate, Jubilate", Saint-Saëns' "Oratorio de Noël", J. S. Bach's St. John Passion as well as his Christmas Oratorio and many other Bach cantatas, including BWV51 ("Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen"). From the 2023.24 season she will be an ensemble member of the Cologne Children's Opera.
