BIOGRAPHY
The young mezzo-soprano Patricia Nolz is hailed as one of Austria’s foremost upcoming artists. Since beginning her studies in Lied and Oratorio with Florian Boesch and Claudia Visca in 2019, she was awarded the Casinos Austria Rising Star Award 2019 and named as a prizewinner at the ÖJAB Music Competition Vienna and the Osaka Music Competition in Japan.

In autumn 2020, she enjoyed great success with her debut as Cherubino in a new production of Mozart's Le Nozze di Figaro at the Theater an der Wien, conducted by Stefan Gottfried and directed by Alfred Dorfer. After two years in the opera studio of the Vienna State Opera, where she celebrated her first successes as Cherubino and as Zerlina in a new production of Mozart's Don Giovanni under Philippe Jordan, she joined the ensemble of the Vienna State Opera in the 2022-2023 season. Patricia Nolz received the Austrian Music Theatre Award for her interpretation of Zerlina in Barrie Kosky's production of Don Giovanni at the Vienna State Opera.
She enjoyed particular success at the Vienna State Opera as Cherubino in the new production of Le Nozze di Figaro conducted by Philippe Jordan and staged by Barrie Kosky, as La Musica & La Speranza in Monteverdi's L'Orfeo, as well as Annio in Mozart's La Clemenza di Tito, as Rosina in Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia, as Siébel in Gounod's Faust and as Orlovsky in the traditional New Year’s Fledermaus. Patricia Nolz made her debut at the Komische Oper Berlin in spring 2024 as Cherubino. The same production will also mark her debut at the Edinburgh Festival in summer 2024.
In the 2024/2025 season, Patricia Nolz is set to appear at the Vienna State Opera as Zerlina/Don Giovanni, Cherubino/Le Nozze di Figaro, Rosina/Il Barbiere di Siviglia, Stéphano in Gounod's Roméo et Juliette and as Silla in Pfitzner's Palestrina under the baton of Christian Thielemann. She will also be heard for the first time as Rosina in a new production of Rossini's Il Barbiere di Siviglia at the Royal Opera in Copenhagen.
Patricia Nolz has appeared in numerous concerts and is an accomplished lieder singer. Highlights of her young career have been concerts with Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra under Karina Canellakis, as well as with the Gewandhaus Orchestra under Andris Nelsons. She has also performed Purcell's Fairy Queen, Bach's St John Passion and Schubert's Mass in A flat major with Concentus Musicus under the direction of Stefan Gottfried at the Vienna Musikverein. She has successfully performed solo, duo and ensemble recitals in the Stephaniensaal in Graz, at the Schleswig-Holstein Festival, at the Heidelberger Frühling, in Blaibach, Feuchtwangen, Moritzburg, Basel, Como and Bolzano. In summer 2023, Patricia Nolz made her debut at the Grafenegg Festival with Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream, where she will return in summer 2024 with arias by Mozart and Haydn together with Concentus Musicus under Stefan Gottfried. The mezzo-soprano will also make her debut at the Salzburg Festival in summer 2024 in a Mozart matinée under the direction of Ivor Bolton.
In the 2023-2024 season, she was given a special platform at the Wiener Konzerthaus as a "Great Talent" performing various orchestral concerts and recitals.
