Anne Schuldt, originally from Rostock, is a remarkable mezzo-soprano specializing in the major German repertoire. Blessed with a colorful, elegant voice and an exceptional legato, she delivers particularly expressive interpretations of Wagner’s great female roles such as Brangäne, Fricka, and Waltraute.
Her most recent role debuts include Venus in Tannhäuser at the Heidenheim Opera Festival under the baton of Marcus Bosch—a role she subsequently also performed in Modena—as well as Magdalene in Die Meistersinger at the State Theatre in Wiesbaden. In October 2022, she performed under the direction of Sir Antonio Pappano in a concert version of R. Strauss’ Elektra in Rome.

Anne Schuldt received her vocal training at the Weimar University of Music "Franz Liszt." Masterclasses with KS Brigitte Fassbaender, KS Christa Ludwig, and Françoise Pollet contributed significantly to her artistic development.
Kammersängerin and intendant Brigitte Fassbaender engaged the young Anne Schuldt for the Tiroler Landestheater Innsbruck, where she was a member of the ensemble until 2012, singing numerous roles from her repertoire, including her first portrayal of Fricka in Wagner’s Das Rheingold.
In 2012, she joined the ensemble of the State Theatre Braunschweig, where she appeared in many leading roles of her field, such as Brangäne in Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde and her first major Italian role, Santuzza in Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana. Particularly noteworthy is her interpretation of the rarely performed role of Fidès in Meyerbeer’s Le Prophète.

​

Since 2017, she has been working as a freelance artist, performing at many major German opera houses such as the Staatsoper Unter den Linden Berlin, the Komische Oper Berlin, the National Theatre Mannheim, and the State Theatres of Wiesbaden, Karlsruhe, and Kassel, as well as the Chemnitz Opera and the Anhaltisches Theater Dessau. She collaborates with renowned conductors such as Stefan Soltész, Cornelius Meister, Guillermo García Calvo, Srboljub Dinić, and Johannes Debus.

​

Anne Schuldt’s artistic presence is particularly intense in her intimate interpretations of concert and art song repertoire. Her concert repertoire includes major works such as Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde, Brahms’ Alto Rhapsody, Reger’s Requiem, and Mendelssohn’s Lobgesang. She has been celebrated by audiences and critics alike for her performances in Verdi’s Messa da Requiem and Rossini’s Stabat Mater. Mahler’s Rückert-Lieder, Wagner’s Wesendonck-Lieder, and Korngold’s Songs of Farewell are among her currently favored song cycles.

She released her first solo CD featuring works by Strauss and Thuille.
Her current recital program Steh auf! will be performed at various venues throughout Germany, and soon also in Paris.
In the spring of 2026, she will appear as Brangäne in Dessau.
