The Croatian mezzo-soprano Anthea Barać graduated from the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna under Claudia Visca and Florian Boesch.
During her studies, Anthea Barać appeared as La zia principessa in Puccini's Suor Angelica and as Frau Reich in Nicolai's Die lustigen Weiber von Windsor at the Schönbrunn Palace Theatre in Vienna.
Previous concert highlights include performances of Verdi's Requiem in Bassano del Grappa (Italy), at the Klagenfurt Concert Hall and at the Vienna Musikverein. She has also performed as an alto soloist in Bach's Magnificat in Pula (Croatia), Mendelssohn's Paulus at the Slovak Philharmonic in Bratislava and with excerpts from Bruckner's Requiem, Bach's Magnificat and Mass in B minor under the baton of Erwin Ortner at the Schönbrunn Palace Theatre.
