Camilla Tilling
Soprano Camilla Tilling has emerged as one of the world's leading Mozart singers, equally at home on the operatic and concert stages, in the recital hall, and in the recording studio, where she has been associated with the BIS label in her native Sweden. She also often sings lighter roles in the operas of Richard Strauss.
Tilling was born in the small town of Linköping, in central Sweden, in 1971. "As a child, I would sing for hours," she told Britain's Opera magazine. "I suppose I was just one of those children who loved singing, and when we went out in the car, I'd sing for the whole ride. I grew up on a farm; there were no neighbors close by, so we could make a lot of noise, and I could sing without disturbing anyone." Sweden's strong school musical education and choral programs honed her skills, and she enrolled at the Academy of Music and Drama in Goteborg. While a student there, in 1997, Tilling made her debut as Olympia in Offenbach's Les Contes d'Hoffmann. She completed her studies at the Royal College of Music in London, graduating in 1998. In 2001, she made her recording debut with the Philharmonia Orchestra on a performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 4 in G major. In 2009, Tilling made her solo recording debut with BIS in Rote Rosen, a recital of Strauss songs with pianist Paul Rivinius.
Tilling quickly found major roles at opera houses in Sweden, Britain, and the U.S. Early on, she made her New York City Opera debut as Corinna in Rossini's Il viaggio a Reims, and in 2002, she appeared as Sophie in Richard Strauss' Der Rosenkavalier. The lighter roles of Strauss have been a Tilling specialty, along with the operas of Mozart; one of her most common Mozart roles has been Susanna in Le nozze di Figaro. In 2005, she made her debut at La Scala in Mozart's Idomeneo. Tilling has worked with historical performance-oriented conductors as well as those in the operatic mainstream, appearing in a recorded performance of Purcell's Dido and Aeneas conducted by Emmanuelle Haïm.
By the mid-2010s, Tilling was paired in concert with the world's leading conductors: Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic (with whom she performed Bach's St. Matthew Passion), Christoph von Dohnányi, Bernard Haitink, and Esa-Pekka Salonen, among others. She has also recorded Schubert lieder and I skogen (2015), a selection of Scandinavian songs for the BIS label. In 2017, she issued Loves Me... Loves Me Not..., a recording of arias by Mozart and Gluck. Tilling appeared with several other singers on a Sony Classical recording of Schumann's song cycle Myrthen, Op. 25. In 2020, she returned with the recital Jugendstil: 1898-1916 on BIS, and she was heard in the early 2020s on a recording of Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125 ("Choral") with the National Symphony Orchestra in Washington under the baton of Gianandrea Noseda.
