Bianca von Oppell is a classically trained mezzo-soprano specialising in opera, early music and solo concert performance. Her work focuses particularly on Baroque repertoire and historical performance practice, with the aim of connecting this rich musical heritage with contemporary audiences.

Recent highlights include Aurelia in Strauss’s Der Pralinésoldat with KV Redtenbach in Vienna, Dido in Purcell’s Dido & Aeneas with KV Constellations in Vienna and Krems, and Agenore in Agnesi’s Il Re Pastore at the Resonanzen Festival at the Wiener Konzerthaus. Her recent concert work includes Bach & Beyond at MUK Vienna, solo performances of Bach’s Cantatas BWV 204 and BWV 4 with KV Constellations, and an Aria & Lied Recital at Palais Ehrbar. She regularly sings as a soloist in the St. Pölten Dom.

Alongside her solo work, Bianca sings with the Volksoper Vienna Project Chorus and has extensive experience in opera and sacred choral repertoire. She is currently completing her MA in Early Music (Voice) at the Music and Arts University of the City of Vienna (MUK) under the guidance of Roberta Invernizzi. She also gives guided tours and musical demonstrations in the Collection of Historic Musical Instruments at the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna.
