Berlin-born soprano Nina Bezu is one of the most promising "jugendlich-dramatisch" voices of her generation and has recently celebrated significant debuts, including as Contessa (Le nozze di Figaro) at the Staatsoper Hannover, as Gerhilde (Die Walküre) alongside Jonas Kaufmann and under the baton of Dan Ettinger at the Teatro di San Carlo in Naples, and most recently as Salome at the Finnish National Opera in Helsinki, where she was immediately re-invited to make her role debut as Elisabetta di Valois in Verdi’s Don Carlos during the same season. In the current season, she will also make her house debut as Salome at the Teatro Massimo di Palermo. In February 2025, she released her debut album Überweltlich - Apparition on the Schweizer Fonogramm label with songs by George Crumb, Richard Strauss and Franz Schubert.

In the upcoming season, she can be seen as Hanna Glawari (The Merry Widow) at Bühne Baden, as the 4th Maid (Elektra) with the Dresden Philharmonic under Sir Donald Runnicles and in the title role of Tchaikovsky's Iolanta in a new production at the Finnish National Opera.

Other recent guest appearances have taken her to the Staatstheater Braunschweig as Mariana in Wagner's Das Liebesverbot, as First Lady (The Magic Flute) and as the soprano soloist in Beethoven's 9th Symphony, as well as to the Staatstheater Cottbus as Contessa in the new production of Le nozze di Figaro. She has appeared on the concert platform in Dvorák's Stabat Mater, Verdi's Messa da Requiem, Brahms' Ein deutsches Requiem and Mendelssohn's Paulus, all at the Herkulessaal in Munich, at the Theater Kempten with the Smetana Philharmonic Orchestra Prague and most recently with the Istanbul State Symphony Orchestra at the Türk Telekom Opera Hall. With the Orchestre National des Pays de la Loire under the baton of Sascha Goetzel, she sang concerts with Verdi's Messa da Requiem in Angers and Nantes.

In the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons, Nina Bezu was a member of the ensemble at Theater Vorpommern, where she performed as Leonora in Verdi’s Il trovatore, as Dido in Dido and Aeneas by Henry Purcell, and as Brigomeïde and Minna in Detlev Glanert’s Die drei Wasserspiele. Her guest performances in previous seasons took her to the Konzerthaus Berlin, the Komische Oper Berlin, the Opernfestspiele Schloss Glatt, the Teatro Principal de Zaragoza, Auditorium Zaragoza, and more.

In 2015, the soprano was invited by UEFA to sing at the opening ceremony of the 24th Champions League Final at the Berlin Olympic Stadium.

She is the winner of the Elizabeth Connell Prize - International Singing Competition, the Schloss Rheinsberg Singing Competition, a finalist in the Concurso Internacional Alfredo Kraus, the International Wagner Voice Competition in Karlsruhe, the New York International Vocal Competition, and a scholarship recipient from the Richard Wagner Association Braunschweig. Since 2023, she has been a scholar of the Olga Forrai Foundation.

After studying mathematics and philosophy at the Technical University of Berlin, Nina decided to pursue vocal studies at the University of the Arts Berlin, initially with Gabriele Schnaut, later with Robert Gambill and Carola Höhn, where she graduated with distinction with her Master’s degree. She has also received further artistic impulses through masterclasses with Christiane Iven, Thomas Quasthoff, Norma Sharp, and Teresa Berganza.
