“The opera’s true heart was Mezzo-Soprano Magda-Sophia Gartner… With a voice that could brush the ground and kiss the stratosphere, Gartner’s vocalism and acting alike conveyed the horror of living under siege, even when the music was dissonantly jaunty in comparison to the lyrics.”

Grace, elegance & power

About Magda.

Magda Sophia Gartner‘s voice “could kiss the stratosphere” (Boston Globe) and in New York City Opera’s baroque production “Los Elementos” by Literes, her aria of L’Aurora was praised „the most memorable aria of the evening“ due to its „emotional connection to the lyricism” (New York Classical Review).

Born in Germany, Gartner first studied piano and pedagogy with a master’s degree at the Mozarteum University of Salzburg, and later took up voal studies in London and New York with Amanda Roocroft, Malena Malas, Arthur Levy and Sophie Koch.

From New York, she established her singing career on the opera stages of North America and has made guest appearances with the New York City Opera, the Boston Odyssey Opera and sang with companies such as Opera Carolina, Grand Rapids Opera, Kentucky Opera and Opera Seattle.

Gartner’s appearance in Boston in the role of Aurelio in L’Assedio di Calais caused a sensation and was described by the Donizetti Society as “a mezzo-soprano of real importance with sustaining, warm depth and brilliantly shining height as the true heart of the production”.

“The opera’s true heart was Mezzo-Soprano Magda-Sophia Gartner… With a voice that could brush the ground and kiss the stratosphere, Gartner’s vocalism and acting alike conveyed the horror of living under siege, even when the music was dissonantly jaunty in comparison to the lyrics.”

“The real stand-out of the cast was Magda-Sophia Gartner as Aurelio, the pants role at the heart of the story. She is a mezzo-soprano of real note, handling the beautiful legato of her entrance cavatina and the intricate coloratura of its cabaletta”

“Mezzo-Soprano Magda-Sophia Gartner energetically and beautifully sang and acted the trouser role or Aurelio”

“Mezzo Magda-Sophia Gartner showed a weighty middle voice and piercing top as La Aurora and her emotional connection to the lyricism of ‘Ay Amor’ made it the most memorable aria of the evening”
