Biography Inga Fischer
Inga Fischer was born in Stuttgart and was already in demand as a concert soloist at a young age. As a member of the Stutgart Chamber Choir under Frieder Bernius, she took on many solo roles on international tours during her school years, focusing on historically informed performance practice and modern music.
At the age of 18, she began her vocal studies at the Robert Schumann University in Düsseldorf (vocal class of Prof. Ingeborg Reichelt). She also worked with Arleen Auger, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Anna Reynolds.
While still a student, she was engaged by Wolf-Dieter Hauschild at the Aalto Theater in Essen in 1992, where she was a permanent member of the ensemble until 1997. There she sang roles including Pamina ("The Magic Flute"), Cleopatra ("Julius Caesar") and the title role in "Rusalka".
She received the North Rhine-Westphalia State Prize for Young Artists for her professional achievements and was repeatedly named best singer by „Kritikerumschau".
She then went to the Staatstheater Kassel, where she sang Mimi, Pamina, Freia ("Rheingold") and the leading female role in the European premiere of Dominik Argento's opera "The Dream of Valentino", among others.
She has appeared as a freelance singer at the Stuttgart State Opera, the Bonn Opera, the Dutch Opera in Amsterdam and the Théâtre du Capitole in Toulouse, among others. Important roles as a freelance singer in the dramatic soprano repertoire include the title role of Salome, which she has sung at many theaters, including Mainz, Erfurt, Magdeburg, Bregenz and at the Taipei Music Festival in Taiwan. She has also sung Lisa in Pique Dame at Theater Bremen and at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, the title roles in Puccini's Tosca and Turandot and Senta in "Der Fliegende Holländer" at the Domstufenfestspiele in Erfurt in a production by Werner Herzog.
Inga Fischer has also worked as a singing teacher since her studies. She initially worked with amateurs and fellow students, and later increasingly with professional singers and singing teachers. She took on a lectureship for students majoring in singing in Kassel as well as a lectureship at the Bamberg Summer Opera for young professional singers.
She expanded her music pedagogical spectrum with various internships with vocal pedagogical colleagues and with a focus on music and medicine in basic training in conventional medicine at the Paracelsus Schools in Würzburg, Kassel and Hanover and a successful alternative practitioner examination in 2017.
