Anna Graf | pura musica artists

The lyric coloratura soprano Anna Graf was born in Nalchik, Russia. After completing studies in piano and choral conducting at the North Caucasian State College of Arts, she moved to Germany where she studied voice and music theatre from 2016 to 2022 in the class of Prof. Mario Hoff at the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz (HfMT) Köln. In 2023, she continued her studies with Donatella Debolini at the Conservatorio di Musica Luigi Cherubini in Florence, Italy. 

Anna Graf is a laureate of several international singing competitions, including the SOI Fiorenza Cedolins Competition (2024, Udine), the 21st International Vocal Chamber Music Competition C. A. Seghizzi (2024, Gorizia), and the 31st International Singing Competition of the Kammeroper Schloss Rheinsberg (2022), where she performed the title role in Hasse’s La Semele o Sia La richiesta fatale in April 2022. 

From December 2019 until the end of the 2020/21 season, Anna Graf was a scholarship recipient of the Theater Initiative Aachen, where she appeared in various productions. Notable roles included Il Destino and Giunone in Francesco Cavalli’s La Calisto, and Grilletta in Joseph Haydn’s Lo Speziale. She remains closely connected to Theater Aachen, where she has returned as a guest artist to perform Frasquita in Bizet’s Carmen and Susel/Lieschen in Leo Blech’s Alpenkönig und Menschenfeind. Her portrayal of the Controller in Jonathan Dove’s contemporary opera Flight received enthusiastic acclaim at both Theater Aachen and Theater Oldenburg. 

Most recently, Anna Graf returned to HfMT Köln as an alumna, where she took on the demanding role of Ortenzia in the modern premiere of Domenico Cimarosa’s opera Le Trame Deluse. 

In 2025, Anna Graf will give her debut at the Teatro Carlo Felice in Genova as Semele in Richard Strauss’ Die Liebe der Danae under the direction of Fabio Luisi. 

The young soprano is also passionately dedicated to the art song and regularly gives recitals throughout Europe. In 2023, she was a scholarship recipient of the Academy Lied Basel. Her debut CD, Fragmente einer Kindheit, was released in July 2022.
