Franziska Giesemann

Singer

Artist

Approved

The soprano Franziska Giesemann, born in Blankenburg (Harz), has been studying in the singing class of Prof. Gudrun Pelker and the lied class of Prof. Jan Phillip Schulze since 2016. She completed her master’s examination in opera singing with top marks.
She has already appeared in various roles in university productions in Detmold and Hanover. These include, among others, Konstanze in Die Entführung aus dem Serail, Tatjana in Eugen Onegin, 1st Lady in The Magic Flute or the leading role in the German premiere of the modern chamber opera Svadba by Ana Sokolovic.
Supported by the Edelhof Ricklingen Foundation, she played various roles at the Hanoverian open-air festival Opera in the Country from 2017-2020. Among other things, she was able to celebrate her debut there as Violetta at an opera gala. Concerts have already taken the young soprano to concert halls on a national and international level. The Gewandhaus Leipzig in particular represented a milestone for her, in which she was allowed to perform as a soloist with an orchestra in 2019.
In 2019 Franziska Giesemann was honored with a scholarship from the Richard-Wagner Verband Hannover. In the same year she was admitted as a scholarship holder of the German National Academic Foundation.
In September 2021 she will make her operatic debut as "Helmwige" in Richard Wagner's Walküre at the Stadttheater Klagenfurt am Wörthersee.
Her wide-ranging repertoire reflects her great interest in old and new music, both as a soloist and in an ensemble.
She received important impulses from Peter Berne, Angela Denoke, Hans Sotin, Claudia Barainsky, Manfred Trojahn and Bernward Lohr, among others.
Her “wonderfully soft, full soprano, very emotional and touching” brought her to the team of Verena Stoiber and Sophia Schneider in 2014, with whom she played “Agathe” in the competition opera Der Freischütz by Carl Maria von Weber at the 14th Grazer Ring Award Main and side prizes won.
Born into a family of musicians, she received a multifaceted musical education since her earliest childhood, which in addition to her vocal training included playing the violin as well as the piano and the accordion. In all these areas she was at the highest level and received numerous awards at Jugend Musiziert and other competitions.
Even then, it was important to her to be as versatile as possible. For example, she was a long-time member of the State Youth Symphony Orchestra Saxony-Anhalt under the direction of Heribert Beissel
