Åsa Jäger

Swedish soprano Åsa Jäger graduated with honors from the University College of Opera in Stockholm in 2015. She received the Bayreuth Scholarship from the Swedish Wagner Society that same year and, in 2022, from the Danish Wagner Society. She made her stage debut at the Norrlandsoperan in 2019 as the Mother in Humperdinck’s Hansel and Gretel. Regarded as one of the most promising young dramatic Wagner sopranos, Jäger sang Brünnhilde for the first time at Theater Coburg in Die Walküre in 2022 and in Siegfried the following year. In 2024, she portrayed Senta in The Flying Dutchman in Gothenburg, earning the Opera Award from Tidskriften Opera. Last season, Jäger made her role debuts as Wagner’s Isolde and Ponchielli’s Gioconda. In February 2027, she will appear in Norrköping as Leonore in Beet­hoven’s Fidelio. On the concert stage, she has collaborated with conductors including Pablo Heras-Casado, Riccardo Frizza, Daniel Carter, and Anja Bihlmaier.
