1 november 2020. One week ago, you sang in the final of the Wagner-competition in Gothenburg and won the first prize!Congratulations, dearest Rebecca!I\u2019m so proud of you! What a journey it has been, and you\u2019ve made incredible progress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You really deserved to win first prize in the Wagner-competition in Gothenburg, the only Wagner-competition in Sweden this year. I would\u2019ve loved to have been there!I really wish that the start of your career would been in a time without covid-19! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We both know that everything would have been different then.We have worked together for eight years now and it really has been a privilege and such joy to teach such a gifted singer as yourself. During our first lesson you sang Tornami a vagheggiar and similar repertoire, and you said:\u201d-It feels like I have a larger voice than this.\u201d You were right! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, after many years of practice you\u2019ve built an instrument that suits perfectly for the repertoire that you love the most.Many years ago, you represented MOMDH at a ceremony when our honorary doctor Birgitta Svend\u00e9n was present, and you told her about your dream to sing Wagner. She gave you the wise advice to be patient and wait a while!We\u2019ve had numerous voice lessons at The Academy of Music and Opera at M\u00e4lardalen University. You\u2019ve studied at our bachelor\u2019s program, our opera program and currently at our part-time voice program. And you decided to study in V\u00e4ster\u00e5s although you had other choices, for example New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I think of what you have accomplished throughout the years, I am assured that you are so well prepared for the life of a professional opera singer. During these years you\u2019ve had vocal coachings with two of Sweden\u2019s most distinguished pianists, Bengt-\u00c5ke Lundin and Magnus Svensson, they are priceless! As well as ensemble singing with Bengt-\u00c5ke and art song seminars with Magnus! You\u2019ve been part of the world premiere of the chamber opera Riddartornet, with music written for you, by Carl Unander-Scharin, directed by Nils Spangenberg and conducted by Joachim Gustafsson. On many occasions you\u2019ve sung with orchestra, for example Elsa\u2019s Traum and Pace, Pace, mio Dio with V\u00e4stmanland\u2019s Symphony Orchestra conducted by Olivier Godin, Abscheulicher from Fidelio with M\u00e4lardalen\u2019s Orchestra Academy conducted by Simon Crawford-Phillips, scenes from Idomeneo, Der Rosenkavalier, Die Fledermaus with B. Tommy Andersson\u2019s conducting students and V\u00e4ster\u00e5s Sinfonietta, Mozart\u2019s Requiem conducted by Johan Hammarst\u00f6m in The Cathedral of V\u00e4ster\u00e5s. You\u2019ve preformed chamber music such as Schubert\u2019s Auf dem Strom with french horn and piano, Chausson\u2019s Chanson Perp\u00e9tuelle with piano quintet, and numerous art songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s been acting training, audition training, fencing, languages, dance, and of course opera scenes and opera roles. In addition to all of this, master classes with wonderful musicians like Olivier Godin, Liz Upchurch, Birgitta Svend\u00e9n, Alexander Nicklasson, Richard Turp, Turid Karlsen In’t Groen, Fran\u00e7ois Le Roux, Audrey Hyland and many more!Culture is needed more than ever, and I contribute through my vocal teaching and as the artistic director of MOMDH. On a daily basis I provide positive energy and support, especially now in these strange and sad times, to give strength to our belief in the future and joy to the day to day practice with such a limited chance to perform in front of an audience.Believe in the future and never give up, to you Rebecca and to all singers out there! Both professionals, students, and singers who are at the start of their professional careers!You are fantastic Rebecca and I wish you a bright future as a singer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
