BIOGRAPHY

MISAKI MORINO is hailed by both Austrian and Japanese audiences for her “pure and clear voice” and is quickly building a reputation as one of the most exciting singers for Baroque, Classical, and Contemporary music, as well as German Lieder and operetta. She has performed leading roles in major opera productions, including Gepopo in Ligeti’s Le Grand Macabre (Tokyo Symphony Orchestra, Jonathan Nott 2025), and engagements at the Luzerner Theater, Neue Oper Wien, Grand Théâtre de Genève, Steirischer Herbst, the New National Theatre Tokyo, and the National Taichung Theater.

As a concert soloist, she collaborates with orchestras such as the NHK Symphony Orchestra Tokyo and the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra. Her repertoire includes Mahler’s Second and Eighth Symphonies, Mozart’s sacred works, and numerous soprano solos in masses and motets. Her Lieder recitals with Helmut Deutsch have been broadcast by Japanese broadcasting.

In addition to singing, Misaki Morino writes her own poems and texts, bringing her personal artistic voice to every project. She graduated with distinction from the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna and is the recipient of the 1st Prize at the International Brahms Competition and the 1st Prize at the Japan Music Competition.
