Lise Davidsen, Soprano at The Eli and Edythe Broad Stage

With a unique and powerful voice that has been described as "one-in-a-million," soprano Lise Davidsen makes her much-anticipated BroadStage debut as part of the Celebrity Opera Recital Series. Norwegian-born Davidsen has a stage presence and charisma that brings audiences to their feet. She burst onto the international stage in 2015 by winning multiple prizes at the Operalia in London and the Queen Sonja Competition in Oslo, and she has quickly risen to superstardom. She has since graced the stages of some of the top opera houses around the world, such as the Metropolitan Opera, Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Teatro Alla Scala Milan, Bayerische Staatsoper, Wiener Staatsoper, and the Aix-en-Provence, Bayreuth and Glyndebourne Festivals. Davidsen was awarded Female Singer of the Year by the International Opera Awards in 2021, and has quickly earned a reputation as one of the best in the business – she is “in a league of her own” (Peter Gelb, Metropolitan Opera). Davidsen’s Celebrity Opera Recital marks her BroadStage debut, as well as her West Coast debut.
