Jensen, Sofie

Sofie Jensen’s rich lyric voice, brilliant musicianship and captivating stage presence have placed her at the forefront of the younger generation of Scandinavian singers.

Her upcoming engagements include New Years concerts with Ensemble Midtvest and Phillip Faber in 2026.

During the 2024/25 season Sofie have made role debut at the Royal Danish Opera as Contessa (Le nozze di Figaro), which follow outstanding reviews in the past two seasons for Tatyana (Eugene Onegin), Marguerite (Faust), Pamina (Die Zauberflöte) and Mimi (La Boheme) at the same theatre.

Earlier seasons at the company have included Vixen (Cunning Little Vixen), Micaëla (Carmen), Gilda (Rigoletto), as well as concert performances in Denmark of Gretel (Hansel und Gretel).

A brilliant interpreter of new music and works of the 20th century, Jensen premiered the role of Gerda in Hans Abrahamsen’s Snow Queen for the Royal Danish Opera and the Bayerische Staatsoper and has performed Abrahamsen’s Let me Tell You in both concert and television broadcast. She performed the Maid in Thomas Adès’ Powder her Face and Beatriz in his The Exterminating Angel.

In addition to the Bayerische Staatsoper, Jensen’s recent travels include Rosalinde (Die Fledermaus) at the Konzert Theater Bern, and as an active song performer, this season she is part of the Scandinavian premiere of Songfest by Bernstein with the Copenhagen Philharmonic.

Jensen is a winner of the Junior Sonning prize, a recipient of the Danish Culture Minister’s award, and was recently made a Knight of the Order of Dannebrog.
