With a career spanning more than three decades, Anne Sofie von Otter has become one of the most acclaimed opera, concert and recording artists in the world. Her 2019-2020 season includes a new role as Countess in Tchaikovsky's Pique Dame at La Monnaie in Belgium Mahler's Symphony No. 3 with the Swedish Radio Symphony and Kaija Saariaho's Passion de Simone with the New European Ensemble at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Regarding her March 2019 Bay Area performances with Philharmonia Baroque, the San Francisco Chronicle said "von Otter tore with beguiling ease through the passagework of 'Iris, hence away' from Semele" while Switzerland's Neue Zurcher Zeitung praised her "softe timbre yet robust stage presence" as L'Opinion Publique in August 2019 performances of Offenbach's Orpheus in the Underworld at the Salzburger Festspiele.
