BIOGRAPHY
Austrian mezzo-soprano Patricia Nolz studied at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna with Claudia Visca, and completed her master’s degree in Lied and Oratorio with Florian Boesch. She is a prize-winner of numerous competitions, received the Anny Felbermayer Scholarship in 2019, and was presented as a “Great Talent” of the Vienna Konzerthaus in the 2023/24 season.
She enjoyed her first major success in autumn 2020, giving her debut as Cherubino in a new production of Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro at the Theater an der Wien under Stefan Gottfried and in a staging by Alfred Dorfer. After two years in the opera studio of the Vienna State Opera, where she achieved early successes as Cherubino and as Zerlina in a new production of Don Giovanni under Philippe Jordan, she became a member of the Vienna State Opera ensemble from 2022 to 2026.
She has since appeared there as Cherubino, La Musica and La Speranza (L’Orfeo), Annio (La clemenza di Tito), Rosina (Il barbiere di Siviglia), Siébel (Faust), Orlofsky (Die Fledermaus), Stéphano (Roméo et Juliette), and as Silla in Palestrina under Christian Thielemann. Further important milestones in her early career so far include Cherubino at the Komische Oper Berlin and at the Edinburgh International Festival, Rosina at the Royal Danish Opera, and Hänsel in a new production of Hänsel und Gretel at the Opéra national du Rhin. Her debut as Octavian in Strauss’ Der Rosenkavalier at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden under Christian Thielemann also received considerable critical attention.
In the 2026/27 season, Patricia Nolz will appear as Annio in Mozart’s La clemenza di Tito as well as Prince Orlofsky in the traditional New Year’s Eve performances of Die Fledermaus at the Vienna State Opera. She will also return to the Staatsoper Unter den Linden in Berlin as Nicklausse in Offenbach’s Les Contes d’Hoffmann. Further role and house debuts will take her to the Hamburg State Opera as the Child in Ravel’s L’enfant et les sortilèges, to the Mozartwoche Salzburg as Dorabella in Mozart’s Così fan tutte, and to the Opéra Bastille in Paris as Zerlina in Don Giovanni.
Patricia Nolz is also in high demand as a concert and recital artist. She has appeared with orchestras including the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and the Gewandhaus Orchestra under Andris Nelsons. Further engagements have included Purcell’s The Fairy Queen, Bach’s St John Passion, and Schubert’s Mass in A-flat major with Concentus Musicus under Stefan Gottfried at the Vienna Musikverein. Other highlights include her debut at the Grafenegg Festival in Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, followed by further invitations for recital appearances there with Concentus Musicus. In 2024 she made her debut at the Salzburg Festival in a Mozart matinee under Ivor Bolton, returning in 2025 with Mozart’s C minor Mass under Gianluca Capuano. Additional concert appearances include Handel’s Messiah at the Vienna Musikverein, arias by Haydn and Mozart with the Basel Chamber Orchestra under Giovanni Antonini, Handel’s Il trionfo del Tempo with Concentus Musicus, and Haydn’s Arianna a Naxos with Il Giardino Armonico and Giovanni Antonini at the Baroque Days at Melk Abbey.
Highlights of Patricia Nolz’s 2026/27 concert season include Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with the Vienna Philharmonic under Christian Thielemann at the Mozartwoche Salzburg, and with the Staatskapelle Berlin under the same conductor in Berlin. She will also appear in Bach’s Christmas Oratorio with the Tonkünstler Orchestra of Lower Austria under Giovanni Antonini at Grafenegg, and in Handel’s Messiah with the Lautten Compagney Berlin under Erwin Ortner at the Vienna Musikverein. A concert gala evening will also take her to the Musiktheater Linz alongside Rolando Villazón and Hanna-Elisabeth Müller.
As a Lied interpreter, she appears regularly at leading venues such as the Vienna Konzerthaus, Wigmore Hall in London, the Vienna and Graz Musikverein, and at festivals including the Schubertiade Schwarzenberg, Leeds Lieder Festival, Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival and Heidelberg Spring Festival. Her artistic activity is further complemented this season by recital appearances as part of Liedstadt Hamburg, the Eppan Summer of Culture, and returns to London, Vienna, Graz, St. Pölten and Madrid.
