The Danish soprano Sofie Lund (b. 1993) has, in a short time, established herself as one of the most promising young voices on the Scandinavian opera scene. She is a graduate of the Royal Danish Academy of Music’s Opera Academy and the Royal College of Music in London, where she completed the Artist Diploma in Opera.
From 2023 to 2025, Sofie was a member of the ensemble at Pfalztheater Kaiserslautern in Germany, where she held a two-year fixed contract and performed several leading and supporting roles.
Sofie made her professional debut in 2021 at Den Ny Opera in Esbjerg as Nanetta in Verdi’s Falstaff. Since then, she has appeared in a wide range of roles including Violetta (La Traviata, Danish National Opera), Eurydice (Orpheus, Royal Danish Opera), Pamina (The Magic Flute, Pfalztheater Kaiserslautern), Maschenka (Der Goldene Brunnen, Pfalztheater Kaiserslautern), Sophie (Werther, Pfalztheater Kaiserslautern), Woglinde (Götterdämmerung, Den Ny Opera), and Angina (Manualen, Royal Danish Opera).
In 2022, Sofie joined the Atelier Lyrique programme at the renowned Verbier Festival in Switzerland, where she was awarded the PrixThierry Mermod for her acclaimed interpretation of Gretel in Humperdinck’s Hänsel and Gretel.
In 2024, she was named Opera Talent of the Year at the Copenhagen Opera Festival, praised for her captivating versatility and radiant musical intelligence.
Beyond the opera stage, Sofie has appeared as a concert soloist in works such as Handel’s Messiah, Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, and Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, performing with orchestras including the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra.
She has collaborated with leading conductors such as Stanislav Kochanovsky, Michael Schønwandt, Lars Ulrik Mortensen, Robert Houssart, and Daniele Squeo, and has worked with distinguished stage directors including Kasper Holten, Jetske Mijnssen, Sascha Milavic, and Hendrik Müller.
Sofie has also benefited from masterclasses and coaching with internationally renowned artists such as Thomas Hampson, Angela Gheorghiu, Anne Sofie von Otter, and Barbara Frittoli.
With her warm tone, technical mastery, and magnetic stage presence, Sofie Lund stands out as a remarkable soprano of her generation — an artist of both deep musical intelligence and expressive power, whose artistry resonates far beyond the stage.
Don Pasquale, The Royal Danish Opera, 2026
…it was the soprano Sofie Lund who was the undisputed queen: she masters, with pointed irony, both the portrayal of the gentle Sofronia, who, after the marriage contract is signed, turns out to be a fiery, domineering shrew, and that of the lovestruck yet clear-sighted Norina, who is determined to win her Ernesto. Even more significantly, Lund enters into the singing with exemplary vocal command in the colorful runs, scales, and trills of the coloratura…

Norina is sung and performed superbly by the soprano talent Sofie Lund. Effortlessly, she glides over rhythmically dotted notes with a fluid, crystal-clear tone that dares to take risks while still leaving room for expressive freedom in her in her acting. Lund is well worth experiencing.

La Traviata, Den Jyske Opera, 2025
Sofie Lund in particular is wonderful. She has just the rippling clear voice needed to fill out the music. Her voice almost beads. She picks up skittles already in the first act's soprano aria 'Sempre libera', Always Free, where Violetta puts forward her decision to continue her carefree and free life. She ranges widely and especially shows her dramatic talent at the end, in her farewell to love and life.

THE JUTLAND OPERA: La Traviata - KULTURINFORMATION Teater
Here she sings about giving up the love for the man she loves. Sofie Lund deserves more fans than the kingdom can provide. She carries the lead role as Violetta with intensity, presence, and nuance. In the final act, she must bid farewell to life, and her last delicate, high note on “everything is over” is truly heart-wrenching.

Siegfried, Den Ny Opera in Esbjerg, 2022
The hero's helper, the forest bird, was frankly enchanting, the white-clad Sofie Lund with a white bird in her hands, a reference to Siegfried's mother, Sieglinde, appearing far and near, chirping about a battle with the woodwinds. And as such, formidably sung by the young Danish soprano. What kind of adventure awaits her when she takes off from Esbjerg.

Review: With a strong team of singers, Den Ny Opera in Esbjerg is once again exhilarating. Now with Wagner's 'Siegfried' | Information
Falstaff, Den Ny Opera in Esbjerg, 2021
It was a brilliant quartet: Phillippa Cold (Alice), Stina Schmidt (Meg), Elenor Wiman (Quickly) and Sofie Lund (Nannetta). The Italian language would have made them even better, but there was sweetness, lightness, and laughter in their conspiratorial conversations.
[...] Nannetta and her Fenton, whom Father Ford does not want to know about, are in that sense secondary characters, but they were sung as if they were the main roles. Sofie Lund (lyrical soprano) and Jonathan Koppel (tenor) both played and sang seductively well, she with a brilliant height and he with a beautiful lyrical strength;

Orpheus, The Royal Danish Theatre, 2020
Eurydice’s role is performed by the beautifully and confidently singing Opera Academy student Sofie Lund-Tonnesen, who has in fact long since been professionally engaged in various roles at the Royal Danish Theatre.
