The German soprano and voice teacher, Susanne Haupt, grew up in Cairo, Berlin and Dresden. She already enjoyed extensive musical training in the subjects of singing, piano and ballet in her childhood. After graduating from the Kreuzschule in Dresden, she studied singing at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" in Leipzig with Kammersängerin Professor Regina Werner-Dietrich. During her studies she already gained first stage experience in various university productions. A solo engagement at the Landestheater Altenburg was followed by longstanding participation as a guest in various productions of the Oper Leipzig and the musical comedy.
However, singing early music is at the center of her artistic work. Susanne Haupt gives concerts with various solo programs with different chamber music ensembles. As a concert soloist, she is primarily engaged in oratorio singing. She works with renowned conductors and orchestras.
Susanne Haupt's great passion is for the works of J.S. Bach. His music, which is an essential part of our culture, is hardly accessible to the hearing impaired. To counter this, the soprano founded the vocal ensemble SING and SIGN, with which she brings many of his sacred vocal works to an audiovisual performance within the concert series "Bach - Mit den Augen hören" (Bach - Hear with your eyes) she conceived. For the most part, what is sung is illustrated by the singers themselves by adding gestures and is thus aimed at both the hearing impaired and the hearing.
As a voice teacher, Susanne Haupt also passes on her knowledge as a voice instructor at the Leipziger Universitätschor and in private teaching. In addition, she is currently founding a sign choir for hearing impaired and hearing children, because the musical promotion of children is an important concern of her. She works as a voice trainer for children in the children's and youth choir of the Oper Leipzig (sine 2019) as well as in the EU project "Opera InCanto", in the project "Singt dich ein" at the Musikschule "Johann Sebastian Bach" in Leipzig, bringing into life the project "Oper für Kinder" (Opera for Children). She currently lives in Markkleeberg, Germany. |
