INTRODUCTION

As a Young Artist part of the Royal Danish Opera, Magnus Berg has quickly established himself as one of Scandinavia’s most interesting baritones for opera and concerts.

BIOGRAPHY

The Norwegian baritone Magnus Berg graduated from the Royal Danish Opera’s Young Artist Programme in the spring of 2023.

In season 23/24 he debuted roles such as Papageno in Barry Kosky’s famous production of Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte and Publio in Jetske Mijnssnen’s new production of La clemenza di Tito at the Royal Danish Opera, as well as revisited the role of Schaunard in Puccini’s La Bohème with the Trondheim Symphonic Orchestra, directed by José Cura. He toured with the Querini Opera and the Arctic Philharmonic Orchestra to Bodø, Tromsø, and Venezia. Also, he portrayed the lead part of Kong Knud in the newly written children’s opera Time’s Up, Kong Knud! by Siobhan Presencer at the Copenhagen Opera Festival. In addition, Berg was to be seen and heard in various concerts and events, including performing as a soloist in Haydn’s Nelson Mass with the Arctic Philharmonic in March 2024.

In August 2024, Berg performed as a baritone soloist in Kverndokk’s Ingrid fra Barrøy at the Nordland Music Festival.

His engagements in 24/25 include (a.o.) Boni in Kálmán’s Die Csárdásfürstin with the Arctic Philharmonic, Notaio/Ufficiale in Il barbiere di Siviglia at the Royal Danish Opera, a Christmas concert with the Stavanger Symphony Orchestra and a project with SAUM and Opera Nordfjord.

In the 22/23 season, he performed as Moralés and Dancaïro in Barrie Kosky’s Carmen at the Royal Danish Opera. He also made a short-notice jump in as Guglielmo in the Royal Danish Opera’s full-scale production of Così fan tutte.

Magnus Berg made his debut at the Royal Danish Opera in Maskarade by Carl Nielsen in 2020.

REVIEWS

La clemenza di Tito at the Royal Danish Opera (2023)

“Magnus Berg in the role of Publius was also outstanding. His inner conflict was evident in the battle between his own feelings and society’s rules and norms.”

– Ungt Teaterblod

Così fan tutte at the Royal Danish Opera (2023)

‘’Guglielmo was replaced by the Norwegian baritone Magnus Berg, just finished from the Opera Academy. An impressive jump in by a very promising acting singer, which we look forward to see and hear more from.”
