Loré Lixenberg
Mezzo-soprano Loré Lixenberg is renowned for the warmth, range and agility of her voice as well as her total absorption in any role. Her rich experience in the area of music theatre includes performing the lead role in Bent Sørensen’s opera Under Himlen at the Royal Opera House in Copenhagen as well as performing in many projects with Théâtre de Complicité.
She has performed throughout Europe at numerous festivals including Wien Modern, Oslo’s Ultima and the festivals in Salzburg, Lucerne, Edinburgh, Witten, Huddersfield, Donaueschingen and Aldeburgh.
Loré has performed as soloist with many distinguished orchestras and ensembles including BBC Symphony Orchestra, Hallé Orchestra, Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, Danish National Symphony Orchestra, Swedish Radio Orchestra, Icelandic Symphony Orchestra, Ensemble InterContemporain, London Sinfonietta, Klangforum Wien, BCMG, Cikada, Northern Sinfonia, Ensemble Aventure and Apartment House.
Television programmes Loré has featured in include the BBC2 television series Strings, Bows and Bellows, with Joanna MacGregor; the avantgarde comedy series Attention Scum, with performance artist Simon Munnery, also on BBC2; the Channel 4 documentary What made Mozart tick; and Kombat Opera Presents…, a set of six television comedy operas commissioned from Richard Thomas by BBC2.
Loré sang one of the main operatic roles in Richard Thomas’ award-winning Jerry Springer – The Opera at the Edinburgh Festival, the National Theatre and in London’s West End as well as on the subsequently released CD.
In 2008, she sang the world première of Dai Fujikura’s – as I am – with Ensemble InterContemporain and, a year later, performed the work again, with the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra.
