ANDERSEN, MARIANNE E.

Born in Oslo, Marianne E. Andersen trained at London’s Royal Academy of Music where she graduated with the highest honours, and at the National Opera Studio. Further studies with teachers including Vera Rozsa in London and Ileana Cotrubas in France, have helped her gather prizes and awards of national and international status and to become a finalist in the Belvedere International Singing Competition in Vienna. After her successful concert début in Oslo, widespread critical acclaim established her reputation as a favourite artist in her native country.

Marianne Andersen has performed in recitals in London, in Lyon, and in Vilnius, and has also appeared on many occasions at Grieg’s former home in Troldhaugen, at the University Hall in Oslo, at Lillehammer, and at the Rosendal Barony in Hardanger. She has collaborated with leading conductors and won international distinction in both the opera house and concert hall, with festival appearances in Edinburgh, Jerusalem and Bergen and at the Thuringian Bach-Wochen in Germany and the Glogerfestspillene in Kongsberg.
