Dutch mezzo-soprano Maria Warenberg is rapidly establishing herself as one of the most compelling young voices in opera today. Since the 2024/25 season, she has been a member of La Troupe Lyrique at the Opéra National de Paris.

In the 2026/27 season, Maria Warenberg makes two highly anticipated role debuts at the Deutsche Oper Berlin: Dorabella in a new production of Mozart's Così fan tutte and Rosina in Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia. At the Palais Garnier she steps into the role of Annio in Mozart's La clemenza di Tito. Maria will also perform the role of Stéphano at the Opéra Bastille in Gounod's Roméo et Juliette.

Recent engagements include Cherubino in Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro on tour with the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century. She made her Edinburgh International Festival debut as Annio in La clemenza di Tito, and returned to Opera Ballet Vlaanderen to open the season with a celebratory Rossini gala.

Last summer Maria joined pianist Leif Ove Andsnes and cellist Sol Gabetta on the floating stage of Amsterdam's Prinsengracht Concert, in a performance televised across the Netherlands.

The young mezzo-soprano was also Artist in Residence for the Friday Concert Series with the Radio Philharmonic Orchestra, with performances that included Mahler's Des Knaben Wunderhorn at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam and Berlioz's L'enfance du Christ as La Vierge Marie. She also performed Haydn's Scena di Berenice and premiered a new work, The Tenth Muse, by Benjamin Wenzelberg written especially for her.

A passionate interpreter of Lied and concert repertoire, Maria has appeared with orchestras including the Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie and performed Berlioz's Les Nuits d'été and Wagner's Wesendonck Lieder in Vienna. In 2025 she presented her recital program Into the Night with pianist Malcolm Martineau at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam.

Maria Warenberg is a laureate of the 2023 Queen Elisabeth Competition and multiple prize winner of the Classic Young Masters competition.
