Australian soprano Lauren Fagan has grown into one of today’s most accomplished sopranos, admired by international critics for her “glossy, commanding sound” and “magnificent dramatic power”. Fagan’s recent portrayals of Countess Almaviva (Le nozze di Figaro), Helena (A Midsummer Night’s Dream), Avis (The Wreckers) and Margarita Xirgu (Ainadamar) have solidified her position as one of the most impressive and versatile singing actresses on today’s operatic landscape.
In the 2024/25 season, Fagan returned to Opernhaus Zürich to debut as Komponist in Andreas Homoki’s new production of Ariadne auf Naxos under Markus Poschner and later in the season to reprise Giulietta in Les contes d’Hoffmann, led by Antonio Fogliani. Elsewhere she returned to the Canadian Opera Company for her much anticipated role debut as Tatyana in Robert Carsen’s production of Eugene Onegin, conducted by Speranza Scappucci.
Lauren Fagan made her début at the Royal Swedish Opera in 2023 as Helena in Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream. She returns in the 2025/2026 season to sing the title role in Dvořák's Rusalka.
