KLYTÄMNESTRA WITH MERBETH AND HOLLOWAY
Karin Lovelius as Klytämnestra is a natural phenomenon.She is torn, eaten, ruined, lurking and haunted in her singing and acting, crushed by the shadows of her actions. Her dark timbre has many colors and a clear diction. An impressive role interpretation.

HEINRICH HEINE IN DIE
MORITZBASTEI
Oper Leipzig asked me to write and perform a chamber music piece with Classical Underground.
The result was this hybrid of lieder, string quartets and theatre. He was a rebel and without him the German treasure of Lieder would be nought. We played for a sold out house for a young audience. I am currently looking for new arenas for this jewel. Contact me on the webpage if you want to know more
about the performance.

RESPIGHI IL TRAMONTO
In warmen goldenen timbre deutete Lovelius die introvertierten Emotionen des Textes gefühlvoll aus.Brillante Spitzentöne, die das Orchester sensibel einbettete, erklangen in Leichtigkeit. Eine Solokantilene des Cellos vertonte beeindruckend die Sehnsucht des Schwellenwerkes zwischen Tod und Leben. In der Zugabe ließ die Sängerin ihre volle Stimmkraft erblühen mit einem schwedischen Lied von Wilhelm Stenhammar

DEBUT AS AUNTIE IN
PETER GRIMES
Großen Spaß bereitete die kernige Karin Lovelius mit ihrem kraftvollen Mezzosopran als die umtriebige Wirtin Auntie. Aktiv auch bei der Vermittlung ihrer Nichten, war faszinierend, wie sie ihre Angelegenheiten managt. Die einzige Außenseiterin, die sich auskennt.

MY NEW HERODES
I got to sing yet another Herodias and this time with the wonderful tenor Brenden Gunnell. Peter Korfmacher in the LVZ was still thrilled:
"Karin Lovelius war 2017 bereits die vollkommende Herodias, stimmlich und szenisch, und ist es heute"

DEBUT AS KABANICHA AT KOMISCHE OPER IN BERLIN
Some job offers you cant turn down. I was on my way from IKEA when my agent called and asked if I could jump in as Kabanicha that evening.
I had not yet sung it but was learning it. After four hours of coaching I turned on the lights on the music stand and started to sing.
Summer 2020 I sat down with a reporter to talk about how I ended up being an opera singer and what drives me as an artist. It started with a bachelor in marketing and economics.

AN ERDA WITH DIGNITY
AND A MYSTICAL SOUND
Karin Lovelius makes her role debut as Erda with dignity and an almost mysical sound in dialogue with Der Wanderer.
A jewel in the production.
TO THE REVIEW
It started as an exchange between australian and swedish musicians and developed into a project about climate change. The newly founded Ensemble Mykorrhiza commissioned two pieces for a series of concerts from australian composer Andrew Ford and swedish composer Emmy LIndström;

A HERODIAS FULL OF HATE AND ANXIETY
You cant sing or act any better than this; the way Michael Weinius as Herodes and Karin Lovelius as Herodias fills every gesture, every note, every look and every step with hate, cynicism, greed and anxiety and contempt for mankind in a preoccupied self. It is music theatre at the peak of what is possible because their art of expression gives the music and the theatre equal weight
