Eva-Maria Melbye

Since her debut production from the Opera Academy of Stockholm in 2008, Eva-Maria has shown a very personal expression and approach to opera as an art form. Without taking any shortcuts, she grasps the core of the piece both musically and thematically. Her unique style was showcased in her recent staging of the new opera “Sol går op sol går ned” by the Danish composer Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgren. This piece was sold out and prolonged with extra shows at Takkelloftet at The Danish Royal Opera House. She also experienced great success with her production “Babel” by Steingrimur Rohloff, another newly written piece, which was nominated for the Danish Theatre prize Reumert in the category “Best Opera”. She was nominated for the 2016 International Opera Awards, Young Director. Eva-Maria is fascina
