Approved

Soprano Hyejin Lee recently became the 2. Prize (without 1. Prize) laureate at the Ada Sari International Vocal Artistry Competition 2023 and also (has) won three special awards (Ada Sari Award for the best coloratura soprano / Concert Award of Teatr Wielki, Warsaw / Special Award of Opera Krakowska Orchestra). 

Hyejin Lee was born in 1993 in Seoul, South Korea. Having earned her Bachelor’s degree at Seoul National University with Prof. Mihye Park, she then obtained her Master’s at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst in Frankfurt am Main with Prof. Klesie Kelly-Moog, followed by the Soloklasse program at the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien Hannover with Prof. Sabine Ritterbusch, all with the highest distinction.

In 2017, she was awarded First Prize at the Köln International Music Competition, also receiving the Audience Prize. Her performance prize with the WDR Funkhausorchester was broadcast by WDR, and she was invited to sing at the Floraball Köln in 2018. In the same year, she was a finalist at the Competizione dell’Opera in Linz, performing with the Austrian Bruckner Orchestra, upon which <Das Opernglas> remarked: "South Korean Hyejin Lee ventured into the Donizetti opera 'Linda di Chamounix' and mastered the madness aria 'O luce di quest'anima' with an ease that amazed". Her further accolades include First Prize at the Korean Voice Competition, Second Prize at the Dong-A Music Competition, First Prize at the Vocal Music Competition in Daegu and First Prize at the Chosun International Music Concours. Furthermore, in 2019 she was awarded a scholarship from the Richard Wagner Scholarship Foundation.

From 2018 Lee was engaged for 4 seasons at Theater Magdeburg, performing a wide variety of repertoire including Norina / DON PASQUALE, Queen of the Night / DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE, Manja / GRÄFIN MARIZA, Atalanta / SERSE, Servilia / LA CLEMENZA DI TITO, Arsena / DER ZIGEUNERBARON, as well as Olympia, Antonia and Giulietta in HOFFMANNS ERZÄHLUNGEN. Her busy final season included role debuts as Gilda / RIGOLETTO, Nannetta / FALSTAFF, Zerlina / DON GIOVANNI, and Pamina / DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE. 

Her Gilda debut at Theater Magdeburg was described by <IOCO Kultur> as:

“…in creating a completely convincing role… This also applies to Hyejin Lee, who took on the role of Gilda. Extremely youthful looking and dressed up, she was able to perform the very infantile role with her slim and light soprano very well. Flexible in the coloratura, her voice like a glistening light with increasing pitch - radiant and direct, with little vibrato, not only her famous "Caro Nome" was a pleasure."


A seasoned concert performer, Lee has been invited to numerous stages, such as Espoon Kultuurikeskus in Finland; Flora Köln, Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt in Germany; and Seoul Arts Center, Suwon SK Artrium, and Daegu Concert House in South Korea. 

In the season 2022/23 she made her debuts in South Korea as Lucia / LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR and Rosina / IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA, both at Daegu Opera House. In the same season, she appeared at Deutsche Oper Berlin as Papagena in DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE, also in her house debut. 

Upcoming performances include at Opera på Skäret making her Swedish debut as Gilda / RIGOLETTO.
